FONTANA, Rosane Teresinha e NUNES, Daiane Henk. Occupational risk in the conception of the workers of a hospital laundry. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.29, pp.170-182. ISSN 1695-6141.
It is an exploratory, qualitative approach, developed with laundry workers at a medium-sized hospital in the Northwest region of Rio Grande do Sul, in the first half of 2011. This study aimed to identify occupational hazards present in the area of a hospital laundry room from the perspective of workers. Data was collected through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. It was identified that the majority of the subjects recognize that there are risks at work, physical, caused by biological and chemical agents that can cause accidents. To improve working conditions and reduce the risk of accidents and illnesses more preventive health care may be needed, mobilizing resources for creating a healthy atmosphere, such as continuing education in health and worker participation in risk management.
