The objective of this study is to discuss the Brazilian industrial accident evaluation model in chemical and petrochemical companies located in the metropolitan region of Salvador and to propose a transition model from guilt culture to an environment where workers have equal conditions before companies and can efficiently collaborate in investigations and implementations of counter-measures thus reducing the occurrence or recurrence of unwanted events, a just culture environment.
