Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: In a textile company in Portugal, with approximately 750 workers, after risk analysis, noise was identified as one of the major problems present, and a low support was seen in the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). As such, this was a priority problem to be sorted out by the nursing group at work, through the training of its workers. Objective: Demonstrate the results obtained after the training of the workers of a textile company on the risks associated with noise. Methodology: Population intervention study, reported in the first half of 2019, in a sample of 288 workers. Results: In view of the strategies defined, we obtained a 70% increase in the number of workers who proved knowledge about the risks of noise and a 60% increase in the number of workers who started using PPE correctly. Conclusion: Training in the work context is fundamental in the prevention of occupational disease.
