Incidence and time trend of occupational accidents in the textile and clothing industry: analysis of Santa Catarina, Brazil, between 2008 and 2017

ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the incidence and time trend of typical work accidents in the textile and clothing industry in Santa Catarina from 2008 to 2017. Methods: This was a retrospective epidemiological study based on data from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS). The time trend was analyzed by calculating the average annual change and logistic regression. Results: There was a downward trend in the incidence of occupational accidents in Santa Catarina during the period studied (8.8%). The highest incidence occurred in 2008 among men (12.6%), workers aged between 40 and 49 years (6.7%), black people (7.4%), people with less than 12 years of education (5.0%), with an average income of 3 to 7 minimum wages (7.0%), with up to 4 years of employment (6.9%), workers in the manufacture of textile products (10, 3%), medium-sized establishments (that is, between 100 and 499 workers; 7.9%) and in the regions of Greater Florianópolis (7.0%) and Vale do Itajaí (6.8%). Conclusions: The risk for typical occupational accidents dropped significantly over the period studied. However, future studies are needed to analyze new relationships that may point to other associated factors. It is hoped that this study can contribute to support measures for the prevention, promotion, protection and rehabilitation of the health of workers in this production sector.

摘要：
研究目的：估算2008至2017年圣卡塔琳娜州纺织与服装行业典型职业事故的发生率及其时间变化趋势。
研究方法：本研究为基于年度社会信息报告（Annual Social Information Report, RAIS）数据的回顾性流行病学研究，通过计算年均变化率与逻辑回归分析方法对时间趋势进行分析。
研究结果：在所研究的时段内，圣卡塔琳娜州职业事故发生率呈下降趋势，降幅达8.8%。事故发生率最高的群体与场景包括：2008年的男性劳动者（12.6%）、40至49岁年龄段劳动者（6.7%）、黑人劳动者（7.4%）、受教育年限不足12年者（5.0%）、月均收入为3至7倍最低工资的劳动者（7.0%）、工龄不超过4年的劳动者（6.9%）、纺织制品制造业从业人员（10.3%）、中型企业（即雇佣劳动者100至499人的企业；7.9%），以及大弗洛里亚诺波利斯地区（7.0%）与伊塔雅伊谷地区（6.8%）。
研究结论：在所研究时段内，典型职业事故的发生风险显著降低。但仍需开展后续研究以分析其他潜在关联因素。本研究期望可为该生产领域劳动者的健康预防、健康促进、权益保护与职业康复相关措施提供支持。
