This article presents the analysis of occupational health in the licensing of oil refineries in Brazil. The documentary analysis was applied starting from a reference point that interrelates worker health and oil refining, rising 30 contents employee health to be checked in EIA. An indicator of the degree of integration (DI) was developed, according to the dimensions: incipient, insufficient, intermediate or advanced. The degree of incipient insertion (DI incipient - 0 to 20%) was identified for the EIA REFINE and COMPERJ and insufficient for EIA REPLAN (DI insufficient - 25 to 45%). Regarding to the degree of full insertion, the EIA REPLAN presented insufficient degree (30%), followed by the EIA COMPERJ and EIA REFINE which presented the incipient degree (13%, 23%). Face these results, the insertion of worker health contents in EIA refineries is strongly recommended as a strategy for health surveillance and risk control.
