Abstract

The present study aimed to: Analyze epidemiological surveillance as an action strategy for the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases in a Venezuelan military component. A study was conducted, framed in the quantitative, field, non-experimental and descriptive paradigm. The sample consisted of 101 military workers from the military component. The survey was used as a data collection technique and the self-administered questionnaire as an instrument. The research was carried out in four phases. The data was analyzed from descriptive statistics, being ordered, classified, tabulated and presented in percentage graphs of columns grouped in 3D. As a result, it was obtained that the representation of 50% of a proportion of military workers considers that they are exposed to risks in the work environment; also, 60% indicates that they never or almost never have adequate breaks. In conclusion, it was shown that there are no permanent medical care controls, in addition to the fact that there is no epidemiological program, so the application of a coherent and structured epidemiological surveillance system was recommended, which carries out continuous monitoring of existing risks, through the application of preventive action strategies.
