Seventy six percent suffered occupational accidents on the previous year, while only 7,4% did not have a single accident throughout their careers. Most frequent lesions were punctures, concussions, haematomas, abrasions, and cutting injuries caused by animals, needles and traffic. Thirty nine percent suffered accidents in itinere, mostly due to traffic. Fifty five percent required medical assistance, and one third suffered lost of work days, with a mean of 25,2±29,6 days. Two cases of brucellosis (2,9%) developed on the 12 months prior to the survey, while 28,7% suffered from zoonotic diseases any time throughout their careers, mainly brucellosis. Usage of protective elements was clearly insufficient. Although 53,2% suffered illnesses due to their profession, 74,5 % had never had any training on occupational hazards. The need of specific training on this area seems unavoidable. Fil: Tarabla, H.D. Universidad Nacional del Litoral. Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias. Santa Fe, Argentina Fil: Tarabla, H.D.

Santa Fe, Argentina Tarabla, H.D. 2009 Se estimaron las frecuencias de accidentes ocupacionales y zoonosis, incapacidad laboral y uso de elementos de protección mediante encuestas telefónicas con cuestionario estructurado en 94 Veterinarios del centro-oeste santafesino. El 75,5% sufrió accidentes laborales en el año previo, y sólo el 7,4% no había tenido al menos uno a lo largo de su trayectoria profesional. Las lesiones más frecuentes fueron punzaduras, contusiones, hematomas, escoriaciones y heridas cortantes causadas por animales, agujas y tránsito vehicular. El 39,4% tuvo accidentes in itinere, la mayoría por tránsito vehicular. El 55,3% requirió atención médica y un tercio sufrió pérdidas de días de trabajo, con un promedio de 25,2±29,6 días por profesional accidentado. En los 12 meses previos a la encuesta se produjeron dos casos de brucelosis (2,9%), mientras que el 28,7% manifestó padecer o haber padecido alguna zoonosis en algún momento de su trayectoria profesional, siendo la brucelosis la más frecuente. El uso de elementos de protección fue claramente insuficiente. Aunque el 53,2% padecía alguna patología atribuible al ejercicio profesional, el 74,5 % manifestó no haber recibido capacitación alguna sobre peligros ocupacionales. La necesidad de capacitación específica en este área aparece como primordial para minimizar los riesgos. application/pdf 1514-6634 (impreso) 1668-3498 (en línea) Veterinarios riesgos ocupacionales accidentes zoonosis Veterinarians occupational risks accidents zoonosis spa Universidad de Buenos Aires.
