P-338 Analogous Slave Labor in Brazil: A Complex Reality to Be Analyzed by Occupational Health

Introduction The interest in work throughout the production chain brought about by Industry 5.0 can contribute to combating forms of labor exploitation. Occupational health is a tool that has technical and scientific foundations to help with this problem. Objectives: To draw up a profile of analogous slave labor in Brazil. Methods Using the websites of the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, the Public Ministry of Labor, RadarSIT and SmartLab, it was possible to trace the profile of analogous slave labor in Brazil. The paper Industry 5.0 Towards a sustainable, human-centered and resilient European industry 2021 identified the contributions of industry 5.0. Results From 1995 to June 14, 2023, 61,711 workers were found in these conditions in Brazil. Between 2002 and 2022, the five economic sectors most involved were cattle breeding (27%), sugar cane (15%), forestry production (8%), coffee growing (6%) and alcohol manufacture and building construction (4% each). 88% had completed elementary school, 93% were men and aged between 18 and 39. Discussion and Conclusion Labor slavery is still present in Brazil and occupational health is a tool that could be used more by public policies. The state in Brazil where these workers were most commonly found is part of the region of the country where there is no medical residency in occupational medicine. The occupational physician must recognize these conditions, treat and prevent further damage from being caused, allied to the innovations of industry 5.0, in the search for solutions to health problems.
