Abstract:

In order to analyze the practice of Social Security Physical Exam since the introduction of Worker’s Health paradigms, data on the granting of social security benefits related to incapacity has been collected so as to assess worker´s illness based on Notification of Work-Related Accidents in the cement industries of Rio de Janeiro. From 2007 to 2009 there was but one notification, which involved one worker handling toxic waste as substitute for energy matrix even the analysis pointed at illness sources and mechanisms disregarded in the Social Security Physical Exam, still focused on the one-cause-only logic of Occupational Medicine. To reach Worker’s Health paradigms it is necessary to shift the way of carrying out Social Security Physical Exam, by re-establishing partnership, constituting human resources, adopting epidemiological indicators, as well as setting and assessing social security goals that work beyond the sheer granting of disability benefits.
