The hermeneutic interpretation of occupational health and safety provides a deeper analysis of the sociocultural, political, and economic factors influencing workplace safety. This approach moves beyond traditional quantitative methods by considering organizational structures, labor relations, and institutional culture as key determinants in risk prevention. While hermeneutics enables a more comprehensive understanding of workplace accidents and occupational diseases, its implementation faces challenges such as organizational resistance, resource limitations, and a lack of training in qualitative methodologies. Combining this approach with scientific methods allows for more effective and context-specific policy development. A joint effort between governments, businesses, and workers is essential to transforming organizational culture and ensuring safer and more sustainable work environments.
