This article delves deeper into the analysis of the ineffectiveness of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the face of exposure to harmful carcinogenic agents in the context of Social Security Law. The discussion focuses on the impossibility of considering the neutralization of harmfulness based solely on administrative records, such as the Professional Social Security Profile (PPP), when there is no technical and effective proof of the equipment's effectiveness. Based on an in-depth normative, jurisprudential, and technical-scientific analysis, particularly of Supreme Federal Court (STF) Topics 555 and Superior Court of Justice (STJ) Topics 1090, as well as the application of the burden of proof under Article 373 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the article seeks to demonstrate that the mere allegation of provision of PPE is not sufficient to disqualify the specialty of the activity, reinforcing the primacy of worker health protection.
