Abstract(s)
Hospital facilities are normally, very complex, which combined with patient requirements promote
conditions for potential development of uncomfortable working conditions. The work in hospitals is likely
to damage health resulting in occupational accidents and diseases. In this sense, a project focused on
Environmental and Occupational Health in Hospital Context was developed to be a contribution to understand
the risk factors to which health professionals and patients are exposed in these environments and how this
exposure can be reduced. This research line resulted in 34 publications and 11 oral/poster communications:
6 articles in international scientific journals, 3 book chapters, 13 articles/abstracts in books of international
congress proceedings, 4 technical reports, 1 doctoral thesis and 7 final course works. The project allowed the
study of data about occupational exposure and accidents in hospital environments in the North of Portugal
