Coletores de lixo e riscos ocupacionais: estudo de caso no município de São Miguel do Iguaçu

Abstract

Today, with the new guidelines of safety, it is essential to adopt techniques to reduce cases of labor accident liabilities. There are various ways of providing security to workers and losses to entrepreneurs. Considering this fact, this study sought to assess the degree of risk they are exposed to garbage collectors in the urban municipality of Sao Miguel do Iguacu. We evaluated the analysis of demand, activity and task, as well as a questionnaire to collectors who sought to give more details about the reality of this occupation. The results were unsatisfactory compared to current law. The physical, psychological and social workers are at risk of being compromised, and thus undermine the good performance of its function.
