Caracterização de insalubridade e periculosidade em uma sala de radiologia de um hospital veterinário

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the working conditions in a veterinary radiology room, focusing on the characterization of unhealthy and hazardous conditions according to current regulations. Based on a qualitative approach, direct observations, photographic records, and document analysis were carried out following the requirements of NR-15, NR-16, and CNEN NN 3.01. The study was conducted in a veterinary hospital located in Londrina-PR, with the objective of verifying compliance with occupational safety standards. The results show that although there is occupational exposure to ionizing radiation, the environment demonstrates good control practices, such as the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), proper signage, and staff rotation. The analysis indicated that there is insufficient evidence for the automatic classification of unhealthy or hazardous conditions, especially due to the lack of quantitative dosimetry data and the non-continuous presence of workers in the risk area. Furthermore, gaps in legislation were identified, making it difficult to precisely apply existing labor regulations to veterinary radiological environments. The study concludes by proposing updates to current regulations and practical recommendations to reinforce worker protection, emphasizing the need for specific guidelines tailored to the veterinary sector.
