http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_Safety
Occupational safety and health is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment. As a secondary effect, it may also protect co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment. It may involve interactions among many subject areas, including occupational medicine, occupational (or industrial) hygiene, public health, safety engineering, chemistry, health physics, ergonomics, toxicology, epidemiology, environmental health, industrial relations, public policy, sociology, and occupational health psychology.

Although the word HEALTH is not used in the Portuguese rendition of this term, it is widely used in both the United States and Europe.
Safety & Health automatically come under the same umbrella, when talking about "segurança de trabalho" in English.
