Relação entre atividades terceirizáveis, precarização, saúde e segurança no trabalho na região Nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

The outsourcing of work in Brazil is developing during many discussions from various theoretical assumptions. Because of this, we question what potential relationships can exist between outsourcing and the health and safety of workers in Northeastern Brazil. Starting from the hypothesis that outsourcing can directly influence the worker's quality of life, it becomes relevant how this occurs. Therefore, this work seeks to analyze whether outsourced workers face worse labor health and safety conditions in the Northeast. The methodology is a survey of bibliographical material and an analysis of secondary data. Observes that the outsourcing process has a gradual increase in admissions in environments/activities not previously explored by the process, but there has also been an increase in dismissals among outsourced. These two aspects result in the rise of employee turnover and the low permanence of the same in their positions. These characteristics bring to the psychological elements negative feelings that can result in labor pathologies. Accidents at work in the outsourced population are higher than in the non-outsourced population. Psychological pathologies, which make the employee unhealthy and unviable, must also be considered making the consequences for society as a whole even bigger. It is also noted that in the northeastern labor market the outsourcing process seems to reinforce signs of job precariousness and the worker who is absorbed into these parameters does not have the same favoritism and recognition as an employee hired directly by the company or institution.
