The protocol for establishing the systematic research adopted in this work contains the following stages: (i) contextualization of the theme in the production scope; (ii) definition of the research method; (iii) diagnostic upon the standard requirements fulfilment; (iv) elaboration of procedures and standards of a HSW model applied to the company; and, (v) proposal of company support recommendations concerning the creation of guidelines. The present work foments the elaboration of procedures and records required by the OHSAS 18001 and develops a model of registry for critical analysis of HSW and for systematic analysis by the direction, deepening and updating the knowledge of the organization on the subject. Striving for the continuity of studies concerning the theme, it is suggested an effective involvement amongst collaborators in order to implement the ISO 45001, based on a structure very similar to OHSAS 18001, using the action plan developed during the research.
