This study aims to provide subsidy for construction entrepreneurs in the implementation of a Health and Safety Work (HSW) Management plan based on OSHAS 18001 specifications [1], the guidelines of ILO Brazil (International Labor Organization) and other legislations related to workers health and safety. The method presented here was based on national and international publications about management methods, identifying the requirements of HSW legislation and how can organizations define a schedule to implement its management. As a methodology, explanatory research was used, aiming to develop, explain and modify concepts and ideas, considering more precise problem formulations or researchable hypothesis for further studies and descriptive research, where facts are observed, registered, analyzed, classified and interpreted. The integration of a quality management system, environment, health and safety at work legislation is a reality in Brazil and a global tendency that if applied effectively in companies' daily operations, can result in continuous improvement of entrepreneurial development and satisfaction of the parts interested.
