| Resumen |
A 5-year statistical analysis of the accident, occupational disease and absenteeism rates of garbage collectors in São Paulo, using street cleaners in the same city as a control group. Garbage collectors had accident rates 4-6 times higher than street cleaners. The highest relative incidence of disease was that of respiratory diseases (2.5 times higher) and skin infections (1.8 times higher). The average length of sickness was 12.5 days for the garbage collectors, against 8.4 days for the control group. Mortality rates and useful life extectancy rates were also examined. |
