title: [A methodology to evaluate and expand knowledge of adolescents of the elementary school on occupational accidents].
abstract: Knowledge concerning work-related hazards and accidents among adolescents enrolled in an elementary public school was evaluated through an analysis of their occupational profile and discussions concerning concepts of risk situations at work and individual and collective measures for accident prevention and control. The results included a significant change in their understanding of work-related accidents as identified by statistical tests comparing the proportion of correct answers in a questionnaire applied prior to and at two moments after the intervention.
