RESUMO

O crescente interesse público pelos riscos de impactos ambientais negativos provocados por resíduos industriais tornou a Comunicação de Risco um elemento decisivo no gerenciamento da atividade industrial, sendo importante o reconhecimento do contexto social que envolve o uso de uma tecnologia e a percepção do risco desta tecnologia nas relações sociais. O trabalho apresenta a evolução do processo de planejamento estratégico da Comunicação de Risco e indica as ações que estimulam a interação entre os segmentos impactados por incidentes catastróficos em indústrias químicas.
