Communication about occupational exposure
2019 - LEVY, DENISE S.; SORDI, GIAN M.A.A.; RODRIGUES, DEMERVAL L.; CARNEIRO, JANETE C.G.G.
Brazil is the largest country of Latin America, with 8.5 million square kilometers divided into five regions with 3 time zones. In this large between-country distances, with plenty of radioactive facilities throughout the country, professional education and communication is a must and a challenge. This paper discusses a web-based project designed to provide effective communication about occupational exposure, linking geographically distant workers to high-quality reliable information. The web-based-project UNIPRORAD counts on concepts, definitions and theory about radiological protection based on both national and international standards, guidelines and recommendations. The content includes optimization, monitoring, potential exposure and communication on occupational risk agents in the workplace. Regarding potential exposures, it is essential to consider the concept of “risk” which, even among scientific community, seems to assume a great variety of meanings. Regarding risk agents in the workplace, it is necessary to discuss the identification and evaluation of the various risk agents (physical, chemical biological and ergonomic) addressing attention to their association to ionizing radiation. This article presentsthe authors' experience in the communication of radiological protection in Brazil, presenting global and specific issues on radiological protection, analyzing recommendations and discussing discrepancies among the several valid publications. It is our objective the dissemination of trustful updated communication, providing radioactive facilities relevant, accurate and understandable information. Finally, the article emphasizes the need to spread information wherever it is needed to inform as many people as possible, contributing to develop workers´ professional skills and to improve safety culture in workplace.
Basic characterization of a radioactive facility and evaluation of risk agents

This is an exploratory and descriptive study with qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate the basic characterization of a Brazilian radioisotope production facility through ample knowledge of the workplace, workforce, task performed and identification of present risk agents in labor environment. The studied sample was composed by 102 workers distributed in eight work processes. Data were collected from April 2013 to July 2014 by applying questionnaire forms and complemented by interviews and observations. The descriptive statistical analysis included ANOVA test and non-parametric tests, among others. For the purpose of this study, there was adopted a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). The analysis of socio-demographic variables demonstrated that male gender predominated in total sample (74.5%) and the mean age of the workers was (51.8 ± 1.7) years. The largest percentage of the responders (70.6%) was technician-level workers. Regarding task-related exposure, there was considered that all groups presented the same exposure profile. At the workplace, there were identified 17 risk agents, including physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and accident risks. The workforce was categorized into 3 risk groups according to relative frequency distribution of the occupational risks. Among the sixteen qualitative variables studied at the workplace, only three of them did not demonstrate relative frequency. The only variable that showed association with the three risk groups was the possibility of the contact with ionizing radiation. The study provided an overview of the perception of occupational risk at the facility. According to the results obtained by statistical analysis, most of the qualitative variables presented statistically significant association (p<0.001) related to the occurrence of occupational risks. Even though the workers may be potentially exposed to different risk agents, the ionizing radiation was the main physical risk factor observed in this facility.
Análise de situações de exposição potencial em aceleradores de elétrons autoblindados
2019 - RIOS, D.A.S.; RIOS, P.B.; SORDI, G.M.A.A.; CARNEIRO, J.C.G.G.
Neste estudo foram estimadas as doses decorrentes de situações de exposição potencial em uma indústria de embalagens que utiliza um acelerador de elétrons autoblindado para a cura de tintas e vernizes em substratos poliméricos. Para isso foram avaliadas as probabilidades de falhas no sistema de segurança do acelerador e realizadas simulações envolvendo duas situações acidentais que poderiam levar à exposição potencial de Indivíduos Ocupacionalmente Expostos e Indivíduos do Público. Embora estas situações de exposição sejam pouco prováveis e envolva um número pequeno de indivíduos o estudo ressalta a importância de realizar exercícios de simulação permitindo identificar as possíveis falhas de operação e as consequências radiológicas para esse tipo de evento. Os exercícios de simulação realizados apontaram a necessidade de incluir a equipe de intervenção para saneamento do acidente, representada pela brigada de incêndio a qual foi incluída nos treinamentos periódicos de proteção radiológica. Além disso, as estimativas de falha no sistema de segurança e as doses resultantes demonstraram a conformidade aos requisitos de proteção radiológica.
Qualitative and quantitative approaches of occupational risks agents in a Brazilian facility
2018 - CARNEIRO, J.C.G.G.; ALVES, A.S.; RODRIGUES, D.L.; LEVY, D.S.; SORDI, G.M.A.A.
The occupational risk assessment is a structured and systematic process, which depends on the correct identification of probable risk factors and agents potentially founded at workplace. The objective of this paper was to carry out the basic characterization of a Brazilian radioisotope production facility through ample knowledge of the workplace, workforce, task performed and identification and evaluation of occupational risk agents in the workplace. The data analysis comprised a qualitative or quantitative approaches based on subjective information obtained by questionnaire, interview and observations about workplace, workforce and risk agents. The workforce was distributed into eight work processes. Regarding task-related exposure there was assumed that all workers presented the same exposure profile. Therefore, it was made an evaluation of the association degree between the occupational risks agents, which there were identified 17 risk agents at the workplace, including physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and accident risks. Although the workers may be potentially exposed to different risk agents, the ionizing radiation was the main physical risk factor observed in this facility.
