ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the practices that produce subjective processes on workers by biopolitical guided devices, through the analysis of care management in Brazil. We sought to analyze the construction of the Occupational Health Policies in the country, focusing on the formulation of National Policy of Security and Occupational Health (2004), based on Michel Foucault’s method, focused on documentary analysis. In this process, we can observe the conflict between work as a risk and work as production of subjectivity, which leads to the construction of notions of health-control and health-integrality. The creation of lines of care in Occupational Health in health services allows us to place this issue increasingly in the field of public health in Brazil and reduce the dispersion of worker’s cases of suffering, which remain at the level of the unsaid.
