Our contribution to this theme will be an analysis of the projects prior to the sanctioning of the law for workplace accidents, the constitutional debate and the changes that occurred after its approval, after which this legislative frame began to be put into practice up until the mid-20th century . Parliamentary debates materialize some of the representations a given society has concerning specific phenomena . Besides, they are privileged documents which assist in recovering the positions assumed by different opposing political sectors and allow for the reconstruction of possible implicit recipients of social policies . In the projects presented in the Chamber of Deputies, national and international statistical inputs were provided which proved to be useful in the parliamentary discussion . In order to complement such contributions, other kinds of documents will also be revised: specialized journals, newspapers and documents from the labor and sanitation agency .
