Introdução/ enquadramento/ objetivos: Os profissionais envolvidos na Soldadura estão sujeitos a diversos riscos/ fatores de risco; no entanto, a generalidade da bibliografia consultada aborda questões específicas e parcelares. Os trabalhadores que fazem soldadura não constituem um grupo homogéneo, ou seja, tanto laboram em ambientes abertos, como fechados mas bem ventilados ou muito confinados. Para além disso muitos outros profissionais, ainda que não sejam designados por soldadores, praticam este ato com alguma frequência, entre outras tarefas laborais, que podem apresentar riscos cumulativos. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica Integrativa, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em janeiro de 2017 nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina, Academic Search Complete e RCAAP”. Conteúdo: Os soldadores estão expostos a fatores de risco tão diversos quanto os agentes químicos/ fumos, radiação (UV,IV e luz visível- com atingimento cutâneo e/ou ocular), ruído, vibrações, desconforto térmico, má iluminância/ encandeamento e/ou contrastes desadequados; ficam por mencionar com destaque nos artigos selecionados as posturas mantidas/ forçadas, o manuseamento de cargas/ queda de objetos e/ ou ao mesmo nível e o eventual trabalho em altura ou debaixo de água (com diferenças de pressão atmosférica), bem como as particularidades de laborar em espaços confinados. A bibliografia consultada, realça os danos cardiovasculares, respiratórios e imunológicos. Alguns artigos registam dados relativos a medidas de proteção coletiva e/ou individual, sendo muito mais escassa a menção direta a doenças profissionais neste setor (mas ainda assim realçando o manganismo; siderose; pneumoconiose, asma, bronquiolite, fibrose pulmonar; patologias oncológicas: pulmão, pâncreas e pele; bem como fotorretinite, fotoqueratoconjuntivite, cataratas, pterígio e pinguécula. Conclusões: A soldadura ocupa muitos profissionais a tempo inteiro e muitos mais ainda a tempo parcial, pelo que os riscos/ fatores de risco associados deverão ser conhecidos ao pormenor pelas equipas de saúde ocupacional que se dedicam a este setor.
Introduction / framework / objectives: The professionals involved in welding are subject to several risks/ risk factors; however, the generality of the bibliography consulted addresses specific and piecemeal issues. Workers who do welding do not constitute a homogeneous group: some work in open, others in closed, but well ventilated or very confined. In addition, many other professionals, although not designated by welders, practice this act with some frequency, among other work tasks, that can present cumulative risks. Methodology: This is an Integrative Bibliographic Review, initiated through a survey conducted in January 2017 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina, Academic Search Complete and RCAAP “. Content: Welders are exposed to risk factors as diverse as chemical agents/ fumes, radiation (with cutaneous and / or ocular attainment), noise, vibrations, thermal discomfort, bad illuminance/ glare and/ or inadequate contrasts; maintained / forced postures, handling of loads/ falling objects and/ or the same level and the possible work in height or under water (with differences of atmospheric pressure), as well as the peculiarities working in confined spaces. The bibliography consulted highlights cardiovascular, respiratory and immunological damage. Some articles record data on collective and/ or individual protection measures, and the direct mention of occupational diseases in this sector (but still enhancing manganism, siderosis, pneumoconiosis, asthma, bronchiolitis, pulmonary fibrosis, oncological diseases- lung , pancreas and skin, as well as photoretinitis, photokeratoconjunctivitis, cataracts and pterygium. Conclusions: Welding occupies many full-time and many more part-time professionals, so the associated risks/ risk factors should be known in detail by the occupational health teams working in this sector.
