Cadernos de Saúde Pública versão impressa ISSN 0102-311X Occupational accidents: an expression of social violence.

Cadernos de Saúde Pública
versão impressa ISSN 0102-311X


The main objective of this study is to underscore the link between violence and the work process. Brazil is presently characterized by a very high level of occupational accidents, which amount to a form of structural violence in the workplace. The study considers the situation in the international context, with a brief analysis of different data in a variety of economic sectors. Brazilian data on occupational accidents obtained from National Social Welfare System records and death certificate archives are also discussed. In apparent contrast to international data, the Brazilian records demonstrate that outdoor activities, and in particular traffic accidents, are the major causes of death at work. Problems relating to the quality of data and to the classification of different types of accidents are also examined.
