SUMMARY:

Introduction: It is clear that the greatest advance in workers' health in Brazil was its constitutional recognition as an area of public health. Understanding the impact of the work process on Workers' Health, the Unified Health System describes the promotion of a safe working environment as one of its objectives. In Brazil, according to the Social Security Statistical Yearbook published in 2019, around 582,000 accidents at work were recorded. General objective: To assess the morbidity and mortality of occupational accidents in Brazil between 2011 and 2021. Method: Ecological time series study, using secondary sources from the National Institute of Social Security, of workers registered through the Communication of Accidents at Work. After collecting the data, it was stored in Microsoft Excel® and Joinpoint® and Python software was used for regression and correlation analysis. Results: Brazil presented a rate of 61 deaths for every 100,000 formal work accidents in 2011 with a growth curve to 68 deaths for 100,000 work accidents in 2018 however, in 2021 the country presents a downward curve to 32 deaths for 100,000 work accidents, being a decrease of 52% in relation to the beginning of the study. Accidents to the upper limbs were found to be the most affected part of the body, with the highest rates in the south and southeast. When observed longitudinally, these rates showed an increase in cases between 2011 and 2021, in the South and Midwest regions. If analyzed in relation to the Brazilian Classification of Occupations, industrial workers stand out from the rest, followed by service providers and mid-level technicians. As for the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, in the chapter, Injuries, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes, they stand out as the most prevalent pathologies among workers, with a temporal variation in the year 2013, then showing a downward curve until the year 2021. The drop is more pronounced in the Southeast and the Midwest shows a higher number of final cases than the initial number in 2011. Discussion: The global panel shows how Brazil is part of a scenario seen around the world, in which the occupation is linked to more than 2 million deaths, with 318,000 deaths due to accidents and 2 million due to work-related illnesses. Accidents at work account for 18% of deaths in low- and middle-income countries such as Brazil, compared to only 5% in high-income countries. onclusion: The creation of public policies such as the National Workers' Health Policy has corroborated other actions such as the strengthening of the National Comprehensive Workers' Health Care Network, as well as being related to the presence of more intersectoral actions as a result of the maturing of the sectors responsible for Workers' Health.
