Our goal is to demonstrate the need to change the work accident analysis methods in judicial expertise. We propose abandoning the easy model of unsafe acts committed by an employee, which has been used to blame the workers and not to avoid new accidents. The method we propose starts with a comprehensive and careful analysis of the activity undertaken and the socio-cultural environment where the event occurred. Ergonomic work analysis is used to understand the actual work situation. This article uses a real case to show how an expert, based on the proposed method, argued the case in the Labor Court.
