Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of OHS management structures which ensure risk prevention, management of
health and safety at work. Thus, the presence of OHS management structures guarantees the operationalization of
strategic decisions, texts and practices of OHS culture to reduce the company's risk families. To conduct this
exploratory study, we opted for a quantitative method administering a questionnaire addressed to a focus group of
22 people. Consequently, our results showed the weak commitment of employers as well as the State's lack of
involvement in OHS management due to the absence of a National OHS Policy.
