- Abstract
The occurrence of accidents in sawmills in Brazil still presents significant numbers, even with technological advances and updates of regulatory standards. The objective of this article was to evaluate occupational accidents in sawmills in the Southern region of Brazil, quantifying the occurrences and identifying the main causer agent. This study was conducted based on data extracted from the Occupational Safety Observatory from the year 2017, analyzing the accidents whichoccurred in sawmills with log sawing activities. The research showed that the main causer agents of accidents in sawmills were the "biological agent" and "machinery and equipment". Paraná stood out as the state with the most records of accidents in the year of 2017, as well as the number of deaths, followed by Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states. Given the results obtained, more discussions are needed about this theme, in order to mitigate the risks which workers are subjected daily.
