Briefings

An American Medical Workers Association report reveals that ten specific occupations accounted for nearly one-third of all work-related accidents in Brazil between January 2023 and May 2026, totaling 548,612 incidents. The top two positions were line feeders and masons, each with 100,000+ reports, followed by agricultural workers at 53,007. While the report identifies these high-risk areas, it explicitly states that absolute numbers alone cannot determine which occupations pose the greatest risk, leaving uncertainty about the true safety implications.

Key points

• Ten occupations accounted for 548,612 work-related accident notifications between January 2023 and May 2026, representing 29.8% of all national accident records.
• Line feeders and masons were the top two occupations, each with over 100,000 notifications, followed by agricultural workers at 53,007.

Context

This data comes from the Brazilian Association of Occupational Medicine (Anamt), covering the period from January 2023 to May 2026. The report highlights specific high-risk occupations and injury causes to guide safety efforts, though it explicitly notes that absolute numbers do not equate to risk levels.

Limitations

The evidence is limited to a specific 6-month period (Jan-May 2026) and does not provide data on the full year 2026. It explicitly states that absolute numbers cannot determine which occupations pose the greatest risk, creating uncertainty about the true safety implications.
