AbstrAct:Objective: This study aimed to identify the profile and cost of admissions for occupational accidents, under the Unified Health System (UHS) in municipalities of the southwest of Bahia, in the period of 2005 to 2007. Methods: It was conducted a descriptive study using the records of the Hospital Information System (HIS), from which were extracted data about the sociodemographic, occupational and hospitalization profiles. To express the results, indicators were used as absolute frequencies and proportions, the average stay, Total Cost of Hospitalization (TCH), Hospital Mortality (HM), Average Spenditure (AS) and Cost per Day (CD). Results: 962 admissions were recorded, of which 94.1% were related to path accidents. Among the admitted subjects 65.7% were male, and the most affected age groups were 5 to 14 and 15 to 24 years. There were forearm fractures on 26 cases of typical accidents. 248 cases of intracranial injuries happened during commuting to work, which accounted for 78.2% of traffic accidents and 28.8% of falls. The average stay was of 2.6 days and the deaths occurred in 0.5% of patients discharges. The total cost of the admissions was of R$ 243,125.06, being the AS of R$ 252.73 and CD of R$ 97.44, lower than the external causes. The frequencies of the variables related to the occupation were not verified due to missing values. Conclusion: The data from the HIS Systems were limited for identify the profile of the admitted workers. However, they are important and can be used on occupational health surveillance.

“…Concerning the accident vicitms' profile, we observed in this study that severe occupational accidents happened predominately with male workers, particularly among adults and young adults, in accordance with the results found in other studies 18,19 . Leigh 20 highlights that accidents that happened with young individuals involve higher indirect financial costs from the social perspective (loss of earnings, benefits and restrictions on household chores), leading to a cost as high as that of cancer.…”

Resumo Introdução: Pernambuco passa por transformações que atraem empreendimentos e mão de obra. Objetivo: verificar como as concentrações produtivas estabelecidas nas Regiões Administrativas de Saúde do estado interferiram no perfil e distribuição dos acidentes de trabalho graves no período de 2011 a 2013. Método: utilizou-se o Quociente Locacional para identificar a formação de aglomerados produtivos especializados nas Regiões de Saúde e compará-los com a ocorrência de acidentes graves. Resultados: os mais acidentados foram homens (89,7%) na faixa de 30 a 44 anos. Foram identificados aglomerados produtivos especializados em seis Regiões de Saúde, porém as ocupações com mais registros de acidentes graves foram trabalhador agropecuário (15,4%), pedreiro (8,7%) e servente de obras (4,0%), mesmo onde a atividade agropecuária e a construção civil não representavam o principal setor produtivo. Conclusão: a identificação de aglomerados produtivos possibilitou a compreensão do padrão de organização produtiva no estado, bem como o perfil de trabalhadores acidentados em cada região, permitindo evidenciar os setores produtivos e ocupações prioritárias para a estruturação da vigilância em saúde do trabalhador.

“…This occurs both because there are problems with the record system, and because the coverage is partial, restricted to workers with formal jobs. 8 Quantitative studies* performed in several countries show that work injuries are common among adolescents. [9][10][11]18 Azambuja 3 and Mangas* performed similar studies to assess the perception of work injuries among adults.…”

OBJECTIVE:To describe knowledge and practices adopted by high school students to prevent occupational injuries. STUDY DESIGN:The study was carried out in a public school located in São Paulo, in 2003. Fifty-three evening students aged 14 to 21 years old participated the study, they were divided into two groups with and without job experience (32 and 21 students, respectively). The students answered two questions: "Why do occupational injuries occur?" and "How do you avoid occupational injuries?" Analyses were performed using the software "Quali-quanti" to structure collective discourses. ANALYSIS OF DISCOURSES:Adolescents with work experience reported that occupational injuries occur due to carelessness of the employee, bad luck of the employee, employer's negligence, lack of training, and unsafe workplace. Adolescents without work experience reported that the main causes of work injuries were carelessness of the employee and employer's negligence. Regarding the ways to protect themselves against occupational injuries, both groups reported that: they pay attention (would pay attention) and wear safety equipment (would wear) safety equipment. CONCLUSIONS:Adolescents from both groups showed limited knowledge about occupational injuries and prevention methods. Students "blamed the victim" to explain the injuries and considered "paying attention to work" as the best way to protect themselves. These facts showed that the culture of blaming the victim is present since adolescence and probably it is an outcome of a learning process of the society.
