Análise bibliográfica de riscos ocupacionais em trabalhadores de laboratório de análises clínicas: acidentes com material biológico ocorridos com profissionais de laboratório de análises clínicas

Abstract

In any human activity is subject to the risk of accidents, especially in the workplace. Health workers in the area are no exception and are always exposed to various risks especially biological, by the very nature of their work. Biosecurity is defined as a set of actions to prevent, minimize or eliminate these risks, however, not always the rules contained in it are duly respected and practiced effectively. Among health professionals are workers in clinical laboratories exposed to biological risks by constant manipulation of body fluids and blood. This study, conducted from literature review aimed to highlight and discuss the basic safety standards at work specifically in the area of health and biosafety within the clinical laboratories. In the discussion of the problem presented data were high, but not conclusive of the number of accidents to which these subjects are exposed and the main means by which contamination occurs. From the findings of the studies reviewed concluded that accidents do not always happen the extent of exposure to risk, but by the negligence of workers who ignore safety standards known by them, adopting behaviors conducive to accidents. From the findings, it was suggested work effective awareness and continuous training in biosafety.
