Abstract

Objective: To analyze the health promotion actions of Specialized Services of Work Safety
Engineering and Occupational Medicine from companies and the health promotion actions of
companies in their official websites.
Method: Qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study with 34 occupational health and safety
professionals from seven companies in southern Brazil. The interviews were conducted in
2015 and documentary research was performed in 2016 for Content Analysis.
Results: Two categories of analysis were constructed and named “Health promotion activities:
professionals’ report” and “Health promotion activities: public communication of companies”.
Final considerations: Health promotion actions are implemented by companies. The actions
carried out by health and safety professionals are targeted to workers and the work environment,
and the actions disseminated by the companies are focused on integrated management of
the work process, personal development, environmental, social and economic responsibilities.
