Resumo
The cleaning of odonto-medical-hospital articles made by handy methods
increases the risk of accidents with biological material. This article has as purposes: to
characterize accidents involving the exposure of expurgation’s workers to biological material;
to identify the incidence of accident’s subnotifications and to describe the prevention’s steps
chosen. After the approval of an Ethics Committee and the worker’s permission, the data were
collected in an interview with 111 workers of Central Supply. These employers work in
hospitals with a hundred or more beds, located in Goiânia-GO. The article showed that (33)
29,8% of the workers listened said that they had accidents. Among these accidents, (24)
72,7% were notified and nine woren’t. The majority of the workers, 92,8%, didn´t know the
individual protection equipment recommended for the expurgation’s use. Most of the time,
the accidents were caused by perforating and cutting objects, hurting upper members. The
article concludes that the majority of the workers don’t adopt the prevention’s steps. This
attitude exposes them to risk’s situations, which can get worse when the accidents aren’t
notified.
