Abstract
Objective: This study aims at summarising the conclusions of the cultural and technical adaptation process of the SafetyCard—Performance Scorecard for Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems to the legislative and organisational context of Brazil. Background: Safety management systems should be imbued with a philosophy of improvement, enhanced by a capacity for performance evaluation, as prescribed by the good practices in the field and the ISO 45001 standard. Method: The methodological adaptation process consisted of two phases, the first focused on the cultural and technical adaptation of the parameters and instruments that integrate the SafetyCard, and the second on its application in an organizational context that could function as a basis for operational validation. Results: All the procedures carried out made it possible to successfully complete the adaptation process. The practical application in a company also demonstrated the tool’s ability to maintain its configuration and how it integrates the main technical-scientific and normative-legal requirements and recommendations on occupational safety and health. Application: The adaptation increases the SafetyCard scope of use, as well provides Brazilian organisations and safety professionals with an approach that makes it easier for them to monitor system performance and comply with the ISO 45001 guidelines.
