Abstract

In order to delineate the accidents’ occurrence in a micro-region of Minas Gerais, this descriptive and retrospective study was developed. The compulsory notification sent to the Epidemiological Surveillance was used as a data source. Results showed the prevalence of accidents among workers in nursing (43.1%), with less than 30 years (39.8%), and completed high school educational level (38.7%), and 68, 8% of them was due to less complex procedures such as administering medications and materials disposal. The high rate of accidents among nursing workers portrays a contradictory situation between the mandatory provision of quality care and use of self-protection mechanisms.
