The main actions on occupational health surveillance and prevention of accidents were analyzed. The theoretical reference was based on the philosophical current of dialectical and historical materialism of worker's health. From the interviews, reflections and testimonies of Centro de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador (Cerest/RJ) professionals were obtained for content analysis. The results reveal important gaps that affect the current actions in this area, regarding the distance between theoretical knowledge, its apprehension and its application.</p><p></p>
