Considered a complex public health problem by the World Health Organization, suicide is one of the main causes of death in most countries, a phenomenon resulting from the interaction among biological, psychological, social and, environmental factors. The purpose of this article was to review national studies addressing the theme of work-related suicide. A systematic review of the Brazilian literature was performed, based on articles published between 2011 and 2020, made available to the academic community in the SciELO, LILACS, PePSIC and MEDLINE databases. A total of 223 eligible articles were identified, which included 16 in the corpus of analysis. The collected data were organized into four thematic categories: Expressions of Psychic Suffering; Exploitation of work in agriculture; Unemployment and Informality; and Blaming the subject and silencing suffering. The results indicate that agricultural workers and bank workers presented representative indices of ideation and suicidal act related to work. Factors such as unemployment, indebtedness, informal work, lack of participation in collective activities and work overload are associated with suicide acts. The problem should be analyzed from a broad perspective, considering its integration with the family, social and labor.
