Referred work related accidents in workers resident in an urban area of the interior of the State of São Paulo in 1994. Inf. Epidemiol. Sus [online]. 2000, vol.9, n.3, pp.199-210.

The present article introduces some of the results of a domiciliary survey designed to study the life conditions of the resident population of urban areas of São Paulo interior districts with more than 80.000 inhabitants, in 1994. A prevalence rate of 41.2 work accidents per 1.000 employed workers was estimated. The prevalence rates for typical work accidents and itinerary accidents were of 34.93 and 6.28 per 1.000 employed workers, respectively. The prevalence rates were analyzed with relation to demographic (sex and age) and socioeconomic (income, education and position in the occupation) characteristics of the workers as well as, for work conditions (activity, entail, hours work per day, waste and stressors). Under reporting of work accidents are discussed based on accident information for which there was the emission of CAT, with other information sources. For formal employees the under reporting reaches 42% and for the economically active population as a whole, it reaches 71%.

Keywords : Work Accidents; Under Reporting; Epidemiological Characters.
