The method used in both studies consisted of three main stages: 1) identification of risks of occupational accidents in construction and port workers (diagnosis ); 2) implementation of appropriate intervention strategy (educational intervention ); and 3) evaluation of the results of the activities during the intervention ( evaluation).
