This article aims to analyze the state policies of Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964-1988) for the construction workers, in view of the interests and favoring the businessmen of this sector, particularly public works contractors. From a theoretical and conceptual framework arising from historical materialism, we discuss in general terms the working conditions provided at sites for construction workers, their forms of organization and the limitations imposed on unionization and the mobilization during the dictatorship. We also approach the safety and health of the worker, accidents occurred in the sites and the ways of action of these workers in strikes, riots and smashing, particularly in the final period of the regime. Our conclusions indicate that policies for workers in general and construction in particular along the Brazilian dictatorship were intensely beneficial for the contractors.
