GRANDE ÁREA: Outra
ÁREA: Multidisciplinar
RESUMO:

The research aims to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the biological risks associated with the handling of chicken litter in the poultry industry and its impact on workers' health, an area that has received little attention in the Brazilian context. The study aims to assess the biological risk of poultry litter used in horticulture, considering its potential impact on production and the health of the workers involved. The first article highlights exposure to microorganisms, fungi, mites and endotoxins in chicken litter. The second article aims to compare the biological risks faced by workers who deal with chicken litter with those in stables and stables, proposing their inclusion in the list of professions entitled to hazard pay, in accordance with NR 15, Annex 14. The relevance research lies in the fact that the poultry industry plays a crucial role in food production, but handling chicken litter can expose workers to various biological risks, such as pathogenic microorganisms, allergens, bacteria and viruses. Although NR 15, Annex 14, establishes criteria for the classification of unsanitary conditions in activities with exposure to biological agents, the risks associated with the handling of chicken litter were not specifically addressed. Therefore, the research aims to fill this gap by evaluating the biological risks involved in this activity and comparing them with the risks faced by workers in stables and stables, which are already considered unhealthy due to the inherent biological risks. Based on a rigorous analysis, we seek to propose the inclusion of chicken litter workers in the list of professions entitled to additional hazard pay, as long as it is demonstrated that the biological risks involved are comparable to those of other activities already covered by NR 15 , Annex 14. In this way, the research assumes relevance in contributing to the protection of the health of workers in the poultry industry and, ideally, to the updating of regulatory standards, in order to reflect contemporary biological risks and ensure due remuneration and protection of those who face such risks in their work environment.
