The simulation included the participation of professionals from the hospital unit, who will be responsible for disseminating the information obtained in their workplaces. The objective was to debate issues that could contribute to making the working environment safer for employees, raising relevant topics about health and safety at work.
According to the Occupational Health and Safety Observatory, in partnership with the Faculty of Public Health of the University of São Paulo, in Brazil, a work accident notification is made every 51 seconds, and a death is reported every three hours for workers with a formal contract. These alarming data highlight the importance of addressing and raising awareness about the prevention of workplace accidents.
During the simulation carried out by the servers, care for a hospitalized patient was reproduced, where a nurse, without using personal protective equipment, ended up being exposed to a disease. The lack of knowledge about the appropriate procedures for cases like this generated a moment of alert and awareness about the importance of following safety standards in the workplace.
The simulation, organized by the Patient Safety Center, Quality of Life at Work Service, Health Care-Related Infection Control Service, Technical Assistance Coordination and Physiotherapy Coordination, aimed to show that small habits can make all the difference. difference in the health of workers, colleagues and family members. The action was repeated throughout the week, reaching different audiences and complementing the activities of Abril Verde, a month dedicated to raising awareness about health in the workplace.
Therefore, HGE’s initiative in promoting this realistic simulation demonstrates the institution’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of employees, reinforcing the importance of preventing accidents and illnesses at work.
