A questionnaire was applied containing sociodemographic variables related to work overload and risk behaviors adoption.

There was an association of sleep/fatigue at the accident time with difficulties carrying out work tasks (OR = 3.7), feeling tired during work (OR = 4.6) and feeling under pressure to carry out work tasks (OR = 3.5).work overload was associated with risk behaviors adoption.
