Surveillance in Occupational Health (Visat) comprises a set of practices legally entered in the National Health System (SUS) and recommended by the policy guidelines that address the health-work relations in Brazil. However, the Visat is still uncommon and, when available, depends on proactive attitudes of some professionals at the service level. Aside from the failure of the management of the health system to implement Visat, another reason it is not implemented is the lack of technical capacity of public officials. The article presents a methodological proposal for the training of Surveillance in Occupational Health using experiences developed some years ago in the field of education in services. We discuss the theoretical and conceptual foundations that guide the development of the field of occupational health and the problem-based pedagogy used in the process of continuous education of the SUS.
