Analyzing the professional groups, we noticed a similar proportion in the 1997´s and 1999´s studys. This similarity shows that, in a practical way, nothing has changed in this period.
The frequency of occupational accidents with sharp instruments in both studys is balanced. And between all groups divided by occupation, the different and higher values occurred with cleanness servant and laundry servant. The results of these two groups is not compatible with the reality because of the wrong proceedings of these professionals, that make than much more exposed to occupational accidents.
In two years the biosecurity material were given and started to be used constantly. But the number of accidents didn´t reduce. In this way, we think that not only is necessary personal biosecurity materials, but is important to apply educational programs for all health care workers.
Apparently harmless proceedings can be, in the reality, potential risk situations, that could be avoided.
We have to show the importance of the excessive number of work hours that health care workers have to work. This factor is intimately related with physicians, medical students, nurses and nurse assistant.
The accidents with laundry servants happened because of the improper presence of sharp instruments in all materials that are send to the laundry.
Analyzing the number of professionals that had an accident, we become surprised with the extremely low quantity of them that have done laboratorials exams. This values express the conscious absence of health care workers. And the number of notification to the Hospital Infection Control Center of HFM were very low too.
The occupational accident damage reaches a high economical and social importance, involving not only the individual purpose, but the collective.
