Implantação do sistema eSocial: uma contribuição para a fiscalização da segurança e saúde no trabalho no Brasil?

Abstract

Given the high number of accidents suffered by countless workers and the health risks to which they are subjected at their workplace every day, the inspection proves itself important in fighting those numbers - of accidents and diseases related to work. As an advanced technology where all the work related information are gathered, the eSocial was developed with the goal of reducing paperwork, improving the information provided by the companies to the Government, guaranteeing rights and duties, thus improving inspection when it comes to social security and work issues, where the safety and health at work are inserted. Thereby a research was made about the contributions of the eSocial system to the safety and health at work inspection. Therefore, an history entry on safety and health work in Brazil and the world was made, a description was made with information that are going to be required by the system about safety and health at work, as well as its due dates, how many accidents and work related diseases during the time of the system implantation has occurred, and what are the sanctions applied in case of non-fulfillment of those requirements. Therefore, a qualitative research was made, which has the documental analysis as the method of data collection. That being said, it was possible to identify that the eSocial is a system that has the potential of contributing to law and safety and health at work norms enforcement, and in the application of the appropriate sanctions in case of non-fulfillment more efficiently. However, due to changes in deployment schedules, sending information about safety and health at work has not come into effect yet, which hinders the need of as much system contributions as possible.
