Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the implementation and operation of public policies for worker safety and health in the municipality of Parauapebas-PA. Therefore, the research sought to study the global and national economic policy environment in the contemporary world; perform historical review of the National Policy Institution of Occupational Health and Working (PNSTT) and the National Policy on Safety and Health work and analyze the actions and policy interventions at national, state and municipal level. Developed a research work contemplating the formulation and implementation of actions on workers' health, considering the makers represented in the survey by the ILO member company Vale S / A and trade unions; the Enforcers, represented by managers and employees of the security services and health of workers and beneficiaries, represented by the mining workers. The phenomenon studied showed permeated with contradictions and social determinations and could not be considered only within the limits of public policy for worker safety and health, it became necessary to analyze other social elements, which directly and indirectly determine the dynamics public policy in the municipality of Parauapebas. Through the critical-dialectical method it was possible to carry out the "way back" and understand the nuances of the unfavorable environment for public policy safety and occupational health in the Region. It points out that the ineffectiveness of these policies is determined by economic policy conditions in Brazil, but also by the local environment, where we observe the extension of the "industrial reserve army", the preference for Health Insurance, the (un) social control in health worker and neo-corporatist role of the unions. Contradictorily, the survey that sought information on the implementation of public policies for worker safety and health found more data on intensification of exploitation and control of labor power than promoting the health of these workers. Given the results revealed by the research work, it is concluded that the labor force in the municipality of Parauapebas-PA, despite the existence of legal framework and apparatus of public policy protection remains unprotected in all aspects of the fence, in special, safety and occupational health.
