- Abstract
Purpose: Understand the perception of costs and damages related to the work of necropsy agents in a Technical-Scientific Institute of Criminal Forensics (ITEP), in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Method / approach: It is a case study, qualitative and descriptive. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with seven necropsy agents from ITEP-RN. The interview script was based on the Human Cost at Work (ECHT) and Work-Related Harm Assessment (EADRT) Scales. For data analysis, the content analysis of Bardin (2010) was used. Main findings: Physical costs arising from carrying weight, handling of equipment and corpses; and emotional costs of dealing with victims known and children, family distress, and interpersonal conflicts at work. In addition to physical damage, such as pain and illness caused by exposure to strong odors; social harm, such as impatience to deal with people and problems; and psychological damage, such as anxiety, depression, and mental fatigue. Methodological / social / managerial contributions: This study contributes to the literature on work and risk of illness and to socially give visibility to necropsy agents. At an institutional level, it provides a diagnosis of health risks, and supports managers in decision-making for actions to improve the work context of these professionals. Originality / relevance: The study delved into the particularities of the work context of necropsy agents, and their work-related costs and damages were qualitatively considered and analyzed.
