Speeches concerning heath at work have been gaining significant weight in what political orientations and decisions are concerned. Indeed, specific legislation is being produced and new organizations concerned with life in work conditions are created. Nevertheless and although several scientific studies in this field have demonstrated the influence of work and working conditions in workers' health and the welfare there are still few effective changes aiming at a global policies integrating work dimension in its health approach. The present research, supported on theoretical and methodological principles of Work Psychology and Activity Ergonomics, intends to give more visibility to the consequences of work on peoples' health and to the way the different actors involved effectively manage health risks. In order to respond to this concern, the relations between health and work were, in a first phase, highlighted through a epidemiological study {Inquérito SITInquérito Saúde, Idade e Trabalho), which revealed the need to conduct a more specific analysis of the regulation processes created by the workers for the preservation and construction of their health (Case study: development of an action-research project with a group of workers in the textile industry). Regulation was the central concept in the development of this research, revealing the complexity and the variability of human behavior at work, namely in what concerns the search not always easy of a balance between the compulsory respect for the production norms and the effort of health preservation This analysis conducted us to the need to broaden the study from the individual and collective regulation processes at work to the ones practiced by the social structures at a local level. With this goal, we tried to analyze the effective role of health organizations' and public health professionals acting at a local level (Local study of health organization). The results of this research highlight the need to reinforce and/or create support structures and networks capable of assuming a better regulation function of a health policy that would quit forgetting that the majority of the citizens have a professional activity.
