For not taking effective measures to contain the contamination of Covid-19 among employees, the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company will have to pay R$ 1,033,466 to the family of a postman who died from complications of the disease. The amount refers to compensation for moral, material and death damages, which took place in March 2021.
The decision of the head judge of the 76th Labor Court of São Paulo, Hélcio Luiz Adorno Júnior, also obliges the company to keep the victim’s family members in the corporate health plan and to issue a work accident report to the competent authorities. There is appeal.

In testimony, a witness reports that, in the last two years, the tasks have increased, since many professionals were removed for being part of risk groups. At the same time, the volume of deliveries grew during the pandemic.
It also says that there has been no improvement in the cleanliness of the workplace and they have only received four masks since the restrictions began. In addition, he claims that there was no other protective equipment, nor sorting of the goods and correspondence they handled.
For the magistrate, the facts and evidence show that the employee was exposed to conditions of high risk of contagion of Covid-19. Regarding the value of the indemnities, the judge explains: “As an effect of the reflection of the death of the worker on the personality rights of his descendants, the indemnities are due in view of the extent of the damage caused and the economic capacity of the agent”.
The company refuted the allegations of the employee’s representatives, maintaining that it complied with the legal hygiene and safety protocols to protect the health of workers. However, he did not present witnesses or documents to prove this defense.
The amounts of compensation for material and moral damages will be divided into three equal parts, according to the number of dependents of the worker. The victim’s wife will manage the money.
