Abstract
Studies show that knowledge retention and transmission practices can have a positive impact on the occupational health and safety management. To understand the presence of occupational health and safety issues in knowledge retention/transmission practices in the last 15 years in professional contexts, a systematic review was conducted. The studies analyzed include initiatives such as mentoring programs and documentary repositories based on the explicit dimension of knowledge, and which do not focus on the participation and acknowledgement of workers or on the analysis of the role that their working conditions, health and safety behaviors have in the processes of knowledge transmission. The results allowed the identification of guiding principles to support companies in the implementation of practices that privilege the participation and acknowledgment of workers and their knowledge, for an action that guarantees production and quality for the company and that preserves the health and safety of workers.
