Abstract

This article presents, founded on a
literature review, a retrospective on the Brazilian
Labor Legislation abn its relations to nursing
professionals’ health. It was evidenced that there had
been an attempt to elaborate a specific legislation
on labor accidents since 1904. However, the first law
was only passed on in 1919. The afore mentioned
law and the ones that have followed it, have changed
the conception of labor accident and its implications
for workers’ health regarding their insertion in the job
process. Changes, implications, and adaptations of
Labor Legsilation were described: they have aimed
to optimize workers’ health. Due to legal
enforcement, companies’ medical teams have had
to deem responsible for the results of their
occupational programs.
