Abstract

This essay seeks to contribute to the construction of a participatory and dialogical mode of health surveillance for the workplace, notably for the federal public service. A reflection is made in it based on a review of the literature and a focus on the legislation and on the policy in force in the country. The authors find that the historical achievements made in the scope of labor social movements favor the production of new relations between the state and society, favoring the emergence of participatory spaces in public institutions. In addition, it highlights the capital need for organizing occupational health commissions per workplace as an elementary way to implement the health surveillance policy in the work environments. Finally, under the aegis of the critical education field, it presents a few precepts of the theoretical contribution made by Freire's pedagogy to serve as a base for the creation of spaces for discussion at the workplace. The authors defend the idea that dialog and participation are the educational foundations of a democratic perspective of occupational health surveillance.
