Sumario: Research related to worker's health has produced investigations founded on different epistemologic positions. In this paper we refer specifically to the study of worker's health within the framework of a recently embraced techno-productive model in Latin America, where new forms of organization are being heterogenously adopted. A key question arises from this outlined theory: How can health be researched in work centers that are characterized by these new organizational patterns of work? In this climate of newly structured conditions of production, it is difficult to conceive reality in rigid terms. This has led us to assume distinct methodologic positions wich are the result of epistemologic reflections engendered during research projets carried out in the field. From here, participative logic and flexibility, adapted to productive and labor processes, should serve as a guide to indicate the ways and means towards knowledge of said reality. To perceive the real conditions of worker's health, and in order for laborers to understand their own true work-health situation, which would consequently point the way to awareness of health as an individual and collective social value, methods for grasping the present reality should be inseted within these changing techno-productive activities. To accomplish this, ground involvement within the recently created alliance -not necessarily impenetrable-, and the use of identical strategies applied within the new logic of production must de achieved between its advent and the attainment of health. Our proposal concentrates on the urgency of developing means that favor a dialectical grasp of the problem of worker's health, from and for the collective. lt is based on a concrete experience in a chemical factory which identifies ergonomic incompatibility and muscularskeletal changes.
