Estado e política de saúde do trabalhador: controle necessário da reprodução do trabalho ao sistema do capital

Abstract

This dissertation is a study of the state and Worker's health Policy, in order to examine ways of state control over the protection and reproduction of the labor force, through the National Security Policy and Health at Work in contemporary times. For this, we recover the ontological foundations of the work of state and social policies. We also a historical of the early forms of intervention in workers' health problem in the preceding societies and capitalism. The research is based on the Marxist assumptions, through the critical-dialectical method, with an ontological approach. So we developed a bibliographical and documentary nature of research, trying to demonstrate that the work under the capital control is inexorably crucial to the multiplicity of the problems that affect the workers, in other words, prohibited its healthy reproduction. It is confirmed by the results of research the premise that the health problems of workers are dynamic reflections of the work process governed by capital, but also one of the expressions of intense exploration of abstract labor. Thus, the worker's health problem is inherent to the capitalist system and demand institutions that manage the most perverse effects. The state has the task of intervening in the control of the degrading consequences of this problem, via social policies, in particular through the Worker's health Policy, whose function is to control and minimize the hardships that affect the health of workers, enabling playback of the workforce and making it continually able/suitable for the capital appreciation process. We therefore conclude that the health of workers in the full sense will only be achieved in an emancipated society, beyond the regency of abstract labor. In this way, we stress the need to strengthen the struggle for worker's health articulated with the emancipatory struggle of labor beyond the system sociometabólico of capital.
