Objective: to present reflections about the Theory of Social Representations and participatory research as a tool for understanding the concepts of health disease contextualized in the workplace. Method: it sought to discuss the possible relationships and advantages of this methodological approach as applied to empirical research in the health field. Results: the use of participatory research in association with social representations theory constitutes an alternative to solve the demands and problems seen in practice, with the participation of those involved with the research. Conclusion: the information obtained from this kind of study could adapt hopefully to the study of health risks related to the work environment.
