Abstract

The present work addresses the impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the sphere ofwork, focusing on the issue of accidents among workers on digital platforms. Initially, thehistory between industrial revolutions and Labor Law is analyzed, as well as the intrinsicrelationship that this legal area has with them. To this end, it involves analyzing books andstudies that address the topic, as well as jurisprudence and interviews. Subsequently, the impacts of the current revolution are explored more carefully, considering what characterizes it and how it has affected the factual reality and the legal scope. In this context, some characteristics of “uberization” and the consequences of work accidents are discussed, as well as an overview of the profile of workers in this sector. Finally, we move on to the legal responses to the situation, going through the jurisprudential construction of the recognition of the employment relationship to the possible alternatives to be applied in the event of an accident until the main issue is resolved.
