“…The fact that the accidents are events circumscribed in time (short-duration events) allows to estimate incident cases based on information referred in the past 16,17 . The annual incidences of occupational accidents were estimated according to variables of interest.…”

The use of motorcycles as a means of work has contributed to the increase in traffic accidents, in particular, mototaxi accidents. The aim of this study was to estimate and characterize the incidence of occupational accidents among the mototaxis registered in Feira de Santana, BA. This is a cross--sectional study with descriptive and census data. Of the 300 professionals registered at the Municipal Transportation Service, 267 professionals were interviewed through a structured questionnaire. Then, a descriptive analysis was conducted and the incidence of accidents was estimated based on the variables studied. Relative risks were calculated and statistical significance was determined using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, considering p ≤ 0.05. Logistic regression was used in order to perform simultaneous adjustment of variables. Occupational accidents were observed in 10.5% of mototaxis. There were mainly minor injuries (48.7%), 27% of them requiring leaves of absence from work. There was an association between the days of work per week, fatigue in lower limbs and musculoskeletal complaints, and accidents. Knowledge of the working conditions and accidents involved in this activity can be of great importance for the adoption of traffic education policies, and to help prevent accidents by improving the working conditions and lives of these professionals.

“…5 A study undertaken in Salvador, in the state of Bahia, showed the high annual rate of not fatal OAs involving teenagers (6.4%), which drops with age in both genders. 6 In one year, this rate was the same in relation to the age group between 10 and 13, decreased to 4.1% in the group from 14 to 17 and reached 4.8% in the group between 18 and 24 years old. A higher annual frequency of not fatal OAs was found in relation to those under 16 who worked in the rural areas of Rio Grande do Sul state.…”

This study was aimed at identifying occupational accidents involving teenagers and carried out in a professional training organization. Cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study which investigated 117 teenage workers, using a multidimensional questionnaire. Of all the respondents, 72.6% were women, 80.3% were 15 years old, 60% were dark colored and 62.4% had not worked before. The most popular positions were receptionist (46.2%) and administrative assistant (37.6%). Among those interviewed, 11% had had accidents in the current or previous job and, from these, 76.9% were involved in typical accidents that took place in the afternoon (61.5%). The most injured body parts were legs and feet (46.2%), and the most common injuries were abrasions (30.8%). Children and youth's labor may result in injuries that are known as occupational accidents. This issue should not be viewed only in terms of workplace inspection and occupational health policies. In addition, a greater change is needed in the structure of society to avoid working from being detrimental to health. DESCRIPTORS:Workers' health. Under-age labor. Workplace-related accident. ACIDENTES DE TRABALHO OCORRIDOS ENTRE ADOLESCENTES1 RESUMO: Objetivou-se identificar acidentes de trabalho ocorridos entre adolescentes em uma fundação de educação para o trabalho. Estudo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo que investigou 117 adolescentes trabalhadores, através de um questionário multidimensional. Dos entrevistados, 72,6% eram mulheres, 80,3% tinham 15 anos de idade, 60% eram pardos e 62,4% não trabalhavam anteriormente. As atividades mais exercidas foram recepcionista (46,2%) e auxiliar administrativo (37,6%). Sofreram acidentes no trabalho atual ou anterior 11% dos entrevistados, dos quais, 76,9% foram típicos e ocorreram à tarde (61,5%). Pernas e pés foram os segmentos mais lesados (46,2%), e as escoriações, os principais agravos (30,8%). O trabalho infanto-juvenil pode apresentar agravos, caracterizados como acidentes de trabalho. O enfrentamento desta questão não pode ser pensado apenas no plano da fiscalização dos ambientes de trabalho, de políticas voltadas para a saúde do trabalhador; há necessidade de transformação maior na estrutura da sociedade, para que o trabalho não prejudique a saúde.

“…For these reasons, as well as to capture students who have dropped out or never attended school and to take advantage of social networks, mapping and geographic area sampling may be necessary. 87 A variety of strategies should be tried to enhance access to health care, education, and social services. One strategy to consider is fully educating the migrant families about which government sponsored programs they are eligible for and which their children are eligible for.…”

SYNOPSISAgriculture has been documented to be one of the most hazardous work environments for both adults and children. Adolescents may be especially vulnerable to adverse health effects from agricultural exposures due to the rapid growth and development experienced during those years. Separating the occupational, economic, and social issues in this population is difficult. Weak regulatory protection, lack of compliance with existing regulations, and gaps in service provision characterize the working conditions of adolescent farmworkers. Although there is increasing research on the impact of work organization on mental and physical health in adult working populations, there is a scarcity of research focused on this concept in young workers-and it remains virtually unaddressed in young farmworkers.Work characteristics of the informal work sector, better delineated in international literature, should be considered when planning research or interventions in this at-risk population. Further, the population of adolescent farmworkers is diverse, and research strategies and interventions need to be targeted and tailored to the heterogeneous groups. This article addresses some of the nontraditional work factors associated with the less-than-formal work organization and environments in the farmworker adolescent population and how these factors may inform the planning of research and interventions. Specifically, mobility, cultural patterns and social networks, alternative sampling strategies, alternative delivery of health care and education, and involvement of a wide range of players in the work environment of adolescent farmworkers should all be considered when conducting research or planning programs for this population.
