Abstract
SOUTO, Caroline Cordeiro et al. Profile of work-related road traffic accident victims recorded by sentinel health units in Pernambuco, Brazil, 2012-2014. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.2, pp.351-361. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742016000200014.
OBJECTIVE:
to describe the profile of work-related road traffic accident (RTA) victims, reported by Road Traffic Accident Information Sentinel Units in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil, from 2012-2014.
METHODS:
descriptive study of fatal and non-fatal work-related road traffic accident victims, reported by 21 RTA Information Sentinel Units in Pernambuco.
RESULTS:
87.8% of the 10,691 cases reported occurred among males; 69.0% of all records were related to the 20-39 age group; the sectors with most injured workers were Transport (24.4%) and Trade (21.3%); most of the victims were drivers (82.0%) and motorcycles were the most frequent vehicle at the time of the accident (77.0%).
CONCLUSION:
victims were predominantly young male motorcyclists; findings may serve to inform intersectoral actions to prevent work-related RTAs, appropriate to the profile of the victims.
