Acidentes de trabalho e doenças ocupacionais em servidores públicos de uma instituição de ensino superior

Abstract

Accidents at work and occupational diseases have been increasingly frequent in the workplace environment. In the scope of the federal public service, although the Ministry of Planning and Budget Management have already established guidelines for the organization of supervisory organs and health monitoring of the server to promote engineering standards of safety at work and quality of life, Internal Public Health Commissions (CISSP), still do not work in many public institutions, including the UFPB. This study aims to analyze occupational accidents and illnesses suffered by public servants of the UFPB, administrative technicians (laboratory assistant, laboratory technician, technician of higher level) and teachers, crowded in the didactic and research laboratories of the Health Sciences Center - CCS and Center for Exact and Natural Sciences Center - CCEN. The servers, contacted by means of electronic correspondence, who accept to participate in this research, will respond to a semi-structured questionnaire on occupational accidents and diseases that occurred between 2007 and 2016. Documental research was carried out in the institutional records. The results indicated a profile of occupational diseases and work accidents, from the point of view of the employees, however, there was no coherence with the institutional records. Nevertheless, the data may support actions aimed at improving the quality of life of UFPB's servers. It was concluded that the health and safety conditions of the server at the institution make it necessary to implement policies aimed at reducing environmental risks and accidents at work and consequently improving the quality of life of the UFPB servers.
