description This article takes note of how the concept of occupational disease was gradually built in Argentina, up to the moment when the Workers Compensation Act was passed in 1915, covering accidents at work, which included occupational diseases. During that period, it is possible to identify the tensions that existed within government agencies with power to regulate work relations. Delving into the productions of the National Department of Hygiene and of Labor, it will be possible to elucidate the path laid down by the discipline of law to become a decision-making space when deciding about occupational diseases, yet at the expense of other professional fields, such as the medical, which already had knowledge incidental to the discipline.
