This article examines how the law of workplace accidents (Decree 3724 of 15 January 1919, regulated by Decree 13.498 of 12 March 1919) was implemented in the city of Piracicaba-SP during the 1920s . The paper investigates, through analysis of cases of accidents at work, the significance of the norm for employers and employees, accidents, workers involved, the procedure of the judicial process and the practical results obtained by the injured workers. In addition to the literature on the law and the labor of the First Republic, we use procedures on Accident Investigation Officers at Work and Action of Accident at Work, which are at the "Espaço Memória" do Centro Cultural Martha Watts, located on the central campus of the Universidade Metodista de Piracicaba.
