Abstract
Os agentes sanitaristas são os trabalhadores mais expostos aos efeitos dos inseticidas nas campanhas antivetoriais, desde o preparo da calda até a aplicação nas áreas intra ou peridomiciliares. Fatores como falta de equipamentos de proteção individual ou desconhecimento da forma correta de manipulação de cada produto aumentam os riscos de intoxicação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a história ocupacional de agentes sanitaristas sobre o controle dos vetores no Estado do Ceará e sua repercussão na saúde destes trabalhadores. As histórias de vida ocupacionais foram relatadas por dez agentes, através de entrevistas individuais gravadas. O conteúdo foi analisado a partir da construção de categorias como: perfil dos agentes, controle de endemias, condições de trabalho, riscos e alterações na saúde. Os depoimentos revelaram condições de trabalho geradoras de risco à saúde dos agentes, desde intoxicações agudas a crônicas, além de outros problemas, como o alcoolismo. Constatou-se que os profissionais foram desrespeitados como seres humanos e que houve descumprimento dos direitos trabalhistas, evidenciando-se o descaso por parte dos seus superiores e instituição contratante.
Sanitary agents are the most exposed ones to the effects of insecticides in eradication campaigns since its preparation until its application inside and outside houses. The lack of protection equipment and misinformation on how to use the material properly increase the risk of intoxication. The aim of this work was to analyze the occupational history of vector control sanitary agents in Ceará State, Brazil and its effects on their health. Individual recorded interviews were done with 10 agents who verbally described their life history. The content of these interviews were analyzed through the following categories: agent profile, endemic controls, work conditions, risks and health changes. Health risk situations were described from acute and chronic intoxication to problems with alcoholism. The research showed that sanitary agents have been disrespected as human beings as well as their labor rights, showing negligence by their employers.
