Civil construction presents one of the work environments that most offer risks, mainly due to the large amount of activities carried out on the construction site. The Occupational Health and Safety sector is seen as complying with legal requirements and not as an essential safety factor. Neglected by senior management and employees, it is a major challenge to implement and maintain effective Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) guidelines. For this, it is necessary to implement a Health and Safety Management Model at work. The objective of this research was to analyze the execution of an OSH management model in a civil

It was found that for the continuity and efficiency of the SST guidelines, there must have investment in the management model, and together with the direct interaction between the safety culture and the company's culture.
