The absence of dialogue between the amendments to 31 Regulatory Norm and the decisions of the labor judiciary on safety and health at work in agriculture, livestock, forestry, forest exploitation and aquaculture in empirical sampling

Abstract

The paper analyzes whether the amendment of 31 NR issued in 2020, in force since October 27^th, 2021, deals with the provisions of the ILO (International Labor Organization) and with the main discussions found in the Labor Judiciary case law in sampling in Brazil. The regulation was changed with the aim of simplifying and establishing the precepts to be observed in the rural work environment, making the planning and development of activities in the sector compatible with the prevention of accidents and diseases related to rural work. The empirical analysis located the decisions (judgments) of the 18^th Circuit Labor Court based on the specific search criterion of the norm (31 NR) and with a temporal criterion cut of the year of the decisions of the year 2019. The conclusions of the empirical study show the lack of dialogue between the amendment of 31 NR with the themes of the judgments and the standardization provided for in the ILO ratified by Brazil, with the exclusion of provisions on the rights of rural workers, as well as on the subject of sanitary conditions that may pose a risk to decent work, degrading working conditions, absence of breaks and exposure to heat.
