In Brazil, in the last to years, data from the Instituto Nacional de Seguridade Social - INSS (Social Security Number) have shown high work accident rates. Some studies have shown that the people who became disabled as a result of a work accident have found it difficult to resume work and tend to reject the disability, besides having to cope with low tolerance from society. Thus, due to social and psychological factors, people injured in work tend to alter their identity, since personal identity is build in social relations. So, this study aims at investigating the conditions liable to interfere in the working identity of people injured in work. Four men participate in the investigation: two employed and two unemployed. The participants answered a structured interview featuring questions on their working life, the accident itself, positive and negative factors after the accident, current activity and perspectives. Differences regarding the identities of the reinserted people and the unemployed were found.
