This paper presents reflections on health and safety at work, highlighting the recent proposals that are for the inclusion of psychosocial aspects in the management of occupational risks, which traditionally dealt only with objective (chemical, physical, and biological) aspects. To support the arguments presented, we worked within theoretical and methodological frameworks that, by adopting a dynamic perspective, focused on activity, on actual work, especially the psychodynamics of work and the ergological perspective. We pointed at the need to revisit the current occupational risk management models centered in control and compliance of the given orientations, by also incorporating those subjective dimensions that cannot be foreseen, but were generated in real situations and include dramas, encounters, choices, and re-singularizing. Therefore, after the managerial dimension of the activities was revealed, their protagonists are summoned not only to comply with experts' prescriptions, but also to act as co-authors, individually and collectively, of the management of their own health, safety, work, and life.
