It studies the Worker Health committee (COSATs) inserted in fifteen unities of the Secretaria Estadual de Saúde do Estado do Espírito Santo. It evaluates the experience of implanting the COSATs in five years of existence and it contributes to trace directive rules that guide the formation course for these committee members. It is about a study with qualitative characteristic, such as exploratory descriptive, having the metadologic approach as study case. Data was taken from documents produced by COSATs members during the formation course, and from interviews and workshops, which psychodrama was used in the committee participants. To examine the empirical material, documents content analysis and interviews discourse and workshop production analysis were used. From the studies results it is possible to know the COSATs everyday life and it highlights the committee pioneering that has been constituted in the solidarity act of listening knowledge space, but also, conflicts space and unequal of forces relation. It ascertains that most of this committee is working with a reduced number of participants, or deactivated, or working with members whose mandates are irregular. It shows how difficult it is to relate COSATs with the unity directions and the lack of support of several institutions. A relevant point is the constatation of the committee distance from the other unity workers who are not involved in the discussions and decisions to be made, what indicates the committee not following a different path from what was expected in the creation. It points the necessity of a new evaluation of the formation course of workers inclusion and mobilization of a greater involvement, specially from the union and the Serviço de Segurança e Medicina do Trabalho professionals to support these committees and it suggests a new and deep study about relevant questions.
