Abstract: The present study aims at presenting the main stages of a model development for maturity evaluation of H&S management systems. With this purpose, it is presented some methodological procedures used to define the maturity levels key-organizational areas and the key-practices for each area, and also the assessment of the companies’ profile characteristics that might play an important role in the maturity differentiation between similar companies. These procedures have involved Portuguese and Brazilian occupational H&S experts. Through the obtained preliminary results it is possible to verify that there is an agreement between experts in what regards of nearly a half of the key-practices proposed in the initial model. On other hand, there is a significant disagreement concerning the maturity level classification of each practice, as the Brazilian experts tend to classify practices in a higher maturity level than the Portuguese. Regarding the companies’ comparison, there is also a significant agreement that the existence of an internal service of occupational H&S in companies is the most influent factor for the heterogeneity between similar organizations.
