“…Accidents at hospitalization services entail greater accident risks, given the characteristics this performance As for the action that led to the injury, needle pricks/cuts by objects are responsible for the main part (45.7%), followed by falls of workers/objects (28.7%). These data are in line with different study results in the area (11,15,(21)(22) . In our study, based on the accident description, we found that most needle prick accidents occurred during or after the use and in the attempt to recap them, and also due to the habit of putting them in a container that was already too full, a practice that should have been abandoned and goes against international orientations published in 1997 (24) .…”

In order to describe accidents at work at a hospital in Northern Portugal and analyze their main impact in the period from 2008 to 2010, we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study. The information was obtained from the notification records of accidents at work for 387 workers. The highest prevalence levels of accidents referred to superior health technician (56.1%), female workers (81.9%), in the age group 30-39 years (37.2%), with a secondary education degree (55.8%), working in shifts (72.4%) and in-patient services (35.9%). Needle pricks were the main cause (45.7%) and hands were the main injury location (37.5%). Wounds (32.6%) were the most frequent type of injury, followed by sprains and strains (23%). In total, 27.4% resulted in absence from work, with sprains and strains as the main reason. Preventive strategies should be adopted, aiming to promote these workers' health.

“…Em Estabelecimentos de Assistência à Saúde (EAS), considerando a natureza dos serviços prestados e os aspectos das atividades peculiares, torna-se elevada a probabilidade de riscos e acidentes envolvendo o pessoal que neles trabalham (10) , sendo necessário uma avaliação dos RA envolvidos. É importante destacar que os acidentes ocupacionais podem estar relacionados tanto às atividades laborais, quanto às condições de trabalho e aos trabalhadores (11) . Além da avaliação e controle dos RA, há estudos que abordam a educação dos trabalhadores da área da saúde como uma importante ferramenta para a prevenção de acidentes envolvendo RA, tal como os riscos biológicos (12) .…”
