[The inadequacy of official classification of work accidents in Brazil]
1Faculdade de Ciências Médicas, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, Brasil.
Abstract:
Traditionally, work accidents in Brazil have been categorized in government documents and legal and academic texts as typical work accidents and commuting accidents. Given the increase in urban violence and the increasingly precarious work conditions in recent decades, this article addresses the conceptual inadequacy of this classification and its implications for the underestimation of work accidents in the country. An alternative classification is presented as an example and a contribution to the discussion on the improvement of statistics on work-related injuries in Brazil.
