A (des)proteção à saúde e segurança do trabalhador em face da Reforma Trabalhista: perspectivas para o meio ambiente do trabalho

Abstract

The work environment is embedded in the environment as a whole, which also includes the role of fundamental human rights. Significant labor rights, directly related to safety and occupational medicine, are part of the Social Rights, such as the additional ones of insalubrity and dangerousness, are expressly foreseen in art. 7 of the CF / 1988 (subsection XXIII). The same is true of the constitutional injunction to "reduce the risks inherent in work by means of health, hygiene and safety standards" (art.7, XXII, CF / 1988). The Labor Reform in Brazil, through Law No. 13467/17, amended several points of the CLT, including norms related to workers' health and safety, and seeks to break with the civilizing, democratic and inclusive logic of Labor Law through deregulation or relaxation of its mandatory rules on the environment (safety and medicine) of work.
