ABSTRACT
La ficha de vigilancia de la salud de los trabajadores expuestos a amianto del anexo V del Real Decreto 396/2006, sobre riesgo de amianto, es una importante fuente de información sobre los efectos para la salud de la exposición a amianto. Sobre una muestra de 400 fichas cumplimentadas por los servicios de prevención, se ha evaluado la exhaustividad de la cumplimentación de los datos mediante el recuento y el cálculo de los porcentajes observados de los ítems correctamente cumplimentados. La exhaustividad de la cumplimentación de los datos es en general baja, especialmente en lo que se refiere a datos de identificación personal, historia laboral y resultados de la exploración radiológica. La insuficiente exhaustividad de los datos de la ficha dificulta el conocimiento sobre el impacto y los efectos sobre la salud de la exposición a amianto(AU)
