Proposta de implantação de exames médicos periódicos para cadetes da Academia de Bombeiros Militar “Josué Montello”

Abstract

This study proposes the implementation of periodic medical examinations for cadets at the "Josué Montello" Military Firefighting Academy (ABMJM). To achieve this, it was essential to analyze the cadets' routines, the risks inherent to the military firefighting profession, the existing legislation supporting periodic medical examinations by workers, and the performance of these examinations by other corporations in Brazil. In addition to theoretical discussions, an objective questionnaire was administered to the cadets. Based on data collected from the Polyclinic of the Military Fire Department of Maranhão and the ABMJM, we also sought to determine the number of temporary leaves of absence of up to fourteen days and the number of leaves of absence that could be referred to the Medical Health Board. A vaccination schedule was also proposed to the students, as it is essential for preserving their health. The results of the questionnaire administered to cadets, along with the data collected, support the need for periodic medical evaluations for students in the Officer Training Course.
