This research had as its main objective to understand the formation of the official policies in the worker health area and its social function in the Latin American countries since the world war II until the mid 1960s, through the analysis of the American Congresses of Occupational Medicine. These Congresses, which occurred between 1949 and 1964, were promoted by the União Americana de Medicina do Trabalho (UAMT). A scientific entity idealized by the argentinians, in 1948, with the support of some countries from the region and without the interference of the international governmental organizations linked with health and work. Since the creation of this entity some hypotheses were raised, some of them are related to the configuration of these policies from the influence of these international institutions such as the Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) and the Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), suggesting a kind of autonomy among countries in the organizational conduction in this area. It was noticed that, since the immanent analysis of the sources - os Congressos Americanos de Medicina do Trabalho (UAMT), o Seminário Latinoamericano de Saúde Ocupacional (OPAS/OMS), although some countries of the region disposed themselves in searching for a certain kind of autonomy in the economic development of the continent, it was not accomplished, because the engendering policies in the region had as a role model the experiences of the countries that have their industrial development already consolidated, especially the europeans, excluding from these discussions the peculiarities of the latin american workers and their life and work condition. However, these debates that embraced concepts such as: the prevention and the insecure act, the compensation and the insalubrity, the social economic problem of the absenteeism confirmed that the policies about the worker’s health in the latin american region had as its function to protect the work with characterized policies in the control of the worker with the purpose of having high productivity, with less possible conflicts between the workers and their employers
