Abstract

This work aims to demonstrate the effects of the labor reform that occurred through law 13.467 / 17 on health and safety standards at work, having as object of study health workers who see themselves in the middle of the pandemic caused by COVID-19, they began to be exposed to unhealthy agents on extended working hours without the need for prior leave from the competent authorities in matters of health and safety at work as it became allowed after the reform. Using a basic research through descriptive analyzes of the changes implemented by the labor reform law, in addition to a qualitative assessment between before and after retirement, we sought to demonstrate possible effects on measures to protect the health of workers that may be at risk in environments that may contribute significantly to the occurrence of accidents and illnesses related to work in the health area. As a result, we seek to draw attention to the risk of applying the single paragraph included in art. 60 of the CLT which can be serious not only for health professionals but also for any other professional who works in an unhealthy environment and who finds himself in a condition to extend his work without adopting health and safety protection measures, in order to conclude that health and safety standards should not be relaxed.
