Qualidade de vida: Saúde e segurança no trabalho

Abstract

Quality of life at work is a key factor for the well-being of employees, valuing health and safety at work. From this perspective, this study aims to identify the number of accidents and deaths resulting from work, making three points: at the national level, considering general data for Brazil; at the state level, taking into account data from the State of Mato Grosso do Sul; and at the municipal level, analyzing data from the city of Chapadão do Sul-MS. Therefore, a bibliographical and documentary research was carried out. Based on data analysis, it was possible to understand that the number of work accidents in Brazil still has very high numbers that show the unsafe working conditions in the country. It was also possible to identify that the State of Mato Grosso do Sul showed an increase in the number of deaths caused by work accidents and a higher incidence of work accidents in the most populated cities. In 2020, the city of Chapadão do Sul had a reduction in the number of work accidents compared to previous years.
