Popis: This article debates the occupational safety and health practices (OSH) through a survey of Brazilian manufacturing companies which export. In this vein, it presents the perceptions of the OSH area managers about operational practices, work environment, safety system and their compliance, the level of team development and organizational culture. It was concluded that the main factor affecting the degree of maturation of OSH practices in companies is centered on certifications. The number of respondents is a limitation of this study. For future research, a search should be made for other interview strategies.
