Abstract

Objective: To describe the epidemiological characteristics of occupational accidents occurring in 2022 among workers at a cashew nut processing plant in Côte d'Ivoire.

Material and method: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study of occupational accidents occurring between January 1 and December 31, 2022. Data were recorded on a survey form using information from work accident registers and declaration forms.

Results: We recorded 211 work-related accidents, most of them involving women (77%) with an average age of 28 ± 8.21 years. The workers most affected were huskers (42.7%), day laborers (92.4%), not affiliated to a social security organization. Work-related accidents per se (95%) occurred between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. (74%), after contact with a chemical substance (32.2%) or intraocular projection of a foreign body (27%). Injuries were superficial trauma and wounds (40.7%), burns (32.3%) and intraocular foreign bodies (25.1%).

Conclusion: Occupational accidents are a reality in cashew nut processing. Preventing these accidents requires not only collective preventive measures, but also the effective use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

[科特迪瓦腰果加工厂 2022 年职业事故流行病学概况]。

目的：描述科特迪瓦腰果加工厂工人在 2022 年发生的职业事故的流行病学特征：描述科特迪瓦腰果加工厂工人在 2022 年发生的工伤事故的流行病学特征：我们对 2022 年 1 月 1 日至 12 月 31 日期间发生的职业事故进行了回顾性描述研究。数据通过工伤事故登记表和申报表中的信息记录在调查表中：我们记录了 211 起工伤事故，其中大部分涉及女性（77%），平均年龄为 28 ± 8.21 岁。受影响最大的工人是未加入社会保障组织的砻工（42.7%）和日工（92.4%）。工伤事故本身（95%）发生在上午 6 时至下午 2 时之间（74%），发生在接触化学物质（32.2%）或异物进入眼内（27%）之后。受伤情况为表皮外伤和伤口（40.7%）、烧伤（32.3%）和眼内异物（25.1%）：结论：职业事故是腰果加工过程中的现实问题。预防这些事故不仅需要采取集体预防措施，还需要有效使用适当的个人防护设备。
