Perfil dos acidentes de trabalho relacionados ao agronegócio no estado de Mato Grosso entre 2018 a 2023

Abstract

This study aims to assess the profile of occupational accidents (OA) related to agribusiness in the state of Mato Grosso between 2018 and 2023. This is an ecological time series epidemiological study of notifications of workers in SINAN from 2018 to 2023. A total of 24,539 occupational accidents (OA) were recorded, of which 6,647 occurred in agribusiness related activities, with an average contribution percentage of 27.29%. There was a reduction in total and agribusiness-related notifications from 2018 to 2020, followed by an increase from 2020 to 2023. The highest incidence of TA was observed among workers aged 30 to 49, with a higher prevalence of brown individuals. Most accidents occurred on the contractor's premises, with a higher prevalence of typical accidents. It was revealed that agribusiness has a significant impact on occupational accidents in Mato Grosso, with statistically positive correlations between the number of total accidents and those linked to agribusiness. It is crucial to adopt specific safety and prevention measures for agribusiness in order to reduce these rates and guarantee the safety of workers. Implementing safety practices is also a matter of social responsibility for agribusiness companies.
