CONTRERAS-PACHECO, Orlando E.  and  LESMEZ-PERALTA, Juan C.. Framing occupational safety and health: in the middle of the regulatory, the strategic, and the moral. Rev. esc.adm.neg [online]. 2021, n.90, pp.101-122.  Epub Feb 23, 2022. ISSN 0120-8160.  https://doi.org/10.21158/01208160.n90.2021.2874.

Using the theoretical-methodological perspective based on experience frameworks, this paper aims at analyzing and understanding the way in which organizations communicate aspects that are related to occupational safety and health. In this sense, we carry out an analysis of the narratives related to this topic and propose a diagnosis mechanism to subjectively measure the burden of the regulatory, strategic, and moral frameworks of these narratives. A panel of Latin American experts applied a three-round Delphi analysis on five case studies in Colombia to illustrate how this mechanism works. In addition to the use of a robust research paradigm, this work contributes by proposing a scheme capable of presenting the motivations and interests of occupational safety and health professionals in perspective, finding imbalances in the way relevant information is transmitted through official messages and channels. Therefore, its use is susceptible to study in this and other areas of knowledge of the organizational discipline, and its adoption could be worthwhile in order to generate more and better knowledge in this regard.

Keywords : occupational safety and health; experience frameworks; regulatory framework; strategic framework; moral framework; organizational communication.
