Resumo
The tomato cropping in the Goiás state is structured
under a technological proposal based on the intensive use of
pesticides, which involves risks and potential damages to the
workers’ health. This study aimed to use the Multiple
Correspondence Analysis (ACM) to explore the worker’s profile
concerning to the use of pesticides in tomato crop. So,
information about the socioeconomic and demographic factors, risk perception, pesticide uses, use of individual protection
equipment (EPI) and referred morbidity were obtained, by
using a questionnaire applied to 96 workers in tomato crop, in
six counties at the State of Goiás. According to the Multiple
Correspondence Analysis, three worker groups were defined.
Group 1 involved those workers who answered that they were
already intoxicated with pesticides and do not use EPI because
it hampers the work or the worker is not accustomed to it.
Group 2 referred to those who did not intoxicate with pesticide
and use only some EPI type, because they considered them as
uncomfortable or other reason. Group 3 were about those who
used complete EPI and lived in canvas huts at the farming. It
was possible to accomplishing correspondence among the
modalities of the research, which would not be possible by
using the descriptive statistics.
