A realidade das notificações do SINAN: um estudo com ênfase nos acidentes relacionados ao trabalho na região do Vale dos Sinos - RS

Abstract

The objective of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of reporting workplace accidents (AT), carried out via the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), in the region of Vale do Rio dos Sinos, RS. Data collection referred to the period from 2013 to 2022, from the 14 municipalities in this region. Information collection was carried out using the BI Saúde and SmartLab Portal databases, referring to notifications via Work Accident Report (CAT) versus SINAN. The discrepancy in the number of TA notifications between both databases was evident. The municipalities, despite having increased the number of notifications via SINAN at some point, present a significant amount of TA underreporting. The importance of making notifications is clear, as this information is necessary for the creation of public policies that address the real situation of work accidents in Brazil.
