Resumo: | The risk of accidents during oceanic fishing is often high and it can cause several harms, from small injuries to death by drowning. The risks to fishermen’s safety and health are potentiated by atmospheric factors such as storms, wind, solar radiation, humidity, heat and cold waves, among others. Fishing is one of the most dangerous labour activities; therefore, it demands constant adjustments in its standards, procedures and public policies. The aim of the present study is to assess the work conditions of a group of fishermen based on atmospheric risk factors in order to contribute to measures taken towards these issues in Brazil. A questionnaire was answered by 20 shrimp fishermen from Bertioga-SP; it was the tool adopted to identify control measures taken by them in order to prevent accidents and diseases. Based on the results, these fishermen work under precarious work conditions and face high vulnerability, as well as the risk of accidents and of catching diseases. Moreover, results have shown that atmospheric factors have significantly contributed to increase such risks. In addition, these precarious work conditions have been worsened by the absence of safety adequate methods, as well as of preventive and emergency measures. |

Tanto para segurança como para a saúde, esses riscos são potencializados devido aos fatores atmosféricos, tais como tempestades, vento, radiação solar, umidade, calor, frio, entre outros. Por tudo isso, a pesca é considerada a atividade mais perigosa do mundo, merecendo constantes adequações de normas e procedimentos, assim como de políticas públicas adequadas. Com intuito de contribuir com essas ações no Brasil, propõe-se nesse estudo analisar as condições de trabalho de um grupo de pescadores frente aos fatores atmosféricos. Para isso, aplicou-se um questionário em 20 pescadores de camarão de Bertioga-SP, buscando identificar quais são as medidas de controle adotadas por eles para evitar os acidentes e doenças. Os resultados revelaram precárias condições de trabalho e alta vulnerabilidade desses trabalhadores. Constatou-se que existem riscos de acidentes e doenças na atividade da pesca de camarão e que os fatores atmosféricos contribuem significativamente para o aumento desse risco. As precárias condições de trabalho são agravadas pela ausência de métodos adequados e de medidas preventivas e emergenciais.Universidade Federal de Uberlândia2019-07-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/3812010.14393/SN-v31n1-2019-38120Sociedade & Natureza; Vol. 31 (2019)Sociedade & Natureza; v. 31 (2019)1982-45130103-1570reponame:Sociedade & natureza (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/38120/26419https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/article/view/38120/26420Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Sociedade & Naturezainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Souza, Gilmar OrtizBitencourt, Daniel Pires2019-10-22T14:07:49Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/38120Revistahttp://www.sociedadenatureza.ig.ufu.br/PUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/sociedadenatureza/oai||sociedade.natureza.ufu@gmail.com|| lucianamelo@ufu.br1982-45130103-1570opendoar:2019-10-22T14:07:49Sociedade & natureza (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false |
