This scientific article analyzes communicative competence as an indispensable tool for the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases, situating the discipline of Technical Communication as a structuring axis in the training of Workplace Safety Technicians. The research problem investigates how failure to interpret regulatory norms and imprecise technical report writing contribute to the ineffectiveness of safety management systems. The general objective is to demonstrate that mastery of the standard language and specific technical terminology is not merely a bureaucratic requirement, but a requirement for protecting life in the work environment. The methodology adopted is an integrative bibliographic review, correlating theories of applied linguistics, andragogy, and workplace safety legislation in force until 2021. The results indicate that clarity in issuing Service Orders and assertiveness in Daily Safety Dialogues (DDS) are determinants for worker adherence to safe procedures. It is concluded that technical literacy, promoted by public vocational education, is a vector for risk reduction and the promotion of a perennial prevention culture.
