Abstract

The dynamics of management and perception of the environmental risk to health of some workers of the CFM-Sul, mainly those that deal with handling and storage of mineral coal and iron ore constitutes the interest of the present study. The set of perceptions of environmental risks as well as the health of individuals results not only from the influence of cultural diversity, but also several other factors are at the origin. The constructions and social perceptions about environmental risk to health and illness of workers affected in the sector of handling and storage of mineral coal and iron ore permeate the concepts of health and illness in the workplace, since, the interpretations and conceptions of workers are influenced by some beliefs when involving their ancestors as actors and their protectors in their daily lives of different types of occupational and health risks. By involving a knowledge of health risk in the workplace, it is possible to perceive the relativity of the concepts of risk, health and disease, which on the one hand, the risk in the workplace is perceived from a relationship of misuse of instruments of work and ignorance of rules for the prevention of accidents at work. In this context, some workers present the notion of risk in the workplace as a result of the lack of protection of their ancestors, the disharmony with them, can create a sequence of events that harm the health of individuals in the workplace
