Resumo
Este é um estudo transversal, com componente retrospectivo, investigando a ocorrência de acidentes do trabalho entre pescadores profissionais artesanais da região do médio Rio Araguaia, Tocantins, Brasil. Entre junho e agosto de 2002, foram entrevistados pescadores do Município de Araguacema, com respeito à organização de suas atividades de trabalho e à ocorrência de acidentes do trabalho nos últimos seis meses. Dos 92 pescadores que participaram do estudo, 56 relataram ter sofrido acidente. A proporção de incidência de acidentes obtida foi de 82,6% ao ano. Cerca de 95,7% dos entrevistados referiram não contribuir regularmente para a Previdência Social e não estarem cientes sobre seus direitos e deveres previdenciários. Entre os pescadores que referiram acidentes, essa proporção foi de 98,2%. Aproximadamente 23,0% dos pescadores estudados relataram possuir outra atividade laboral paralela, principalmente como pedreiro (47,6%) e guia de pesca (23,9%). As injúrias por animais do ambiente aquático foram a principal causa de acidente relatada pelos pescadores, perfazendo cerca de 86,0% dos casos. Percebe-se, diante dos resultados, que os acidentes por animais do ambiente aquático são um importante agravo à saúde, provocando, em alguns casos, incapacidade temporária para o trabalho.
This is a cross-sectional study of work-related accidents among traditional fishermen in the Medium Araguaia River region of Tocantins, Brazil. From June to August 2002, fishermen from the Municipality of Araguacema were interviewed about the organization of their work activities and work-related accidents during the previous six months. of the 92 participating fishermen, 56 reported having suffered a work-related accident (annual incidence was 82.6%). Some 95.7% of those interviewed did not regularly pay social security insurance as self-employed workers and were not aware of their social rights and duties. For fishermen reporting accidents, this proportion was 98.2%. Approximately 23.0% had another work activity, mainly as construction workers (47.6%) or sport-fishing guides (23.9%). Injuries inflicted by aquatic animals were the main form of accidents (about 86.0%). From these results, it is apparent that accidents from aquatic animals are an important health hazard, in some cases causing temporary work incapacity.
