The key findings reveal that management, safety policies, quality standards, risk assessment, safety planning, among others, stand out as clear components in the perspectives oriented to occupational safety and health; However, although the improvement of the work environment is covered within the consideration of improvements to health and safety policies for workers, a clearer path is encouraged towards specific notions that account for the actions and strategies with which where it is possible to optimize environments for those who work in them.
