Abstract:
The authors analyzed environmental risk prevention programs and occupational health monitoring programs implemented by 30 companies from various industrial sectors, each with more than 100 employees, in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Observed inconsistencies were studied according to occupational risk, considering the different stages of development in the programs. The study suggested low technical quality in these programs, revealing the need to increase the range of government inspection and to stimulate worker and trade union participation in such programs. The development and improvement of inspection procedures, instruments, and protocols were also considered fundamentally important for health and safety in the workplace.
