- Abstract
Objectives: to identify how the occupational health of nursing professionals has been addressed since the Regulatory Standard 32 was officially adopted and describe the health actions which have been implemented from then on in the hospital emergency work. Methodology: this is a study with a qualiquantitative approach, carried out at the emergency sector of Hospital Universitario Antonio Pedro of Universidade Federal Fluminense (HUAP/UFF). Thirty nursing professionals participated in the research, who answered to a questionnaire whose data were grouped, categorized, and presented in tables with frequency and simple percentage. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Medical School of UFF, under the Protocol 047/2010. Results: the following categories were defined: Behavior of the nursing professional with regard to the biosafety measures in the hospital environment; Safety measures related to the cutting and piercing materials and immunization; Actions aimed at the health of workers from the emergency service of HUAP/UFF in compliance with the Regulatory Standard 32. Conclusion: the health professionals' exposure to various occupational risks is still alarming. There's a need to increase efforts to implement continuing education actions, in order to preserve the workers' health.
