Enrolled in the Federal Constitution of 1988, the worker's health actions within the Unified Health System require effectiveness able to change the alarming epidemiological indicators of accidents and work-related diseases. Even being reflection of the political-economic posture of post-constitutional governments, Unified Health System is decisive in the omission and, likewise, in the offense to what is established constitutionally. This text, of essayistic character, was based on updated data from the Social Security, and on documents and articles about the worker's health field and legal hermeneutics regarding to the applicability of the rules that govern the actions, especially of public health, of the executive power in the Law's State.
