Occupational accidents in Mobile Pre-Hospital Care

This book analyses and proposes occupational risks for mobile prehospital care (APH) professionals, with an emphasis on biosafety and biological risk. It identifies risk factors such as exposure to potentially contaminated biological material, stress situations and accidents. A survey was carried out with the health team of a private road and urban mobile APH company, where the author made his observations. The results obtained are surprising, as they demonstrate the susceptibility of the professionals involved in this segment to exposure to biological risks, causing insecurity and fear in the face of the risk of transmitting pathogens.
