Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between work shift and the severity of occupational accidents classified as work-related.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted. Occupational accident severity was assessed using the number of days of temporary work disability as an outcome measure.

RESULTS: A total of 384 records were analyzed. Statistically significant differences were observed between groups according to work schedule (p < 0.001). In both bivariate and multivariable analyses, only night/mixed work shift were independently associated with severe occupational accidents (defined as ≥15 days of temporary work disability).

CONCLUSIONS: Night/mixed work shift were identified as the main independent determinant of occupational accident severity and were associated with an increased risk of prolonged temporary work disability.
