Occupational Health (OT) in the field of public health whose object of study and intervention is the production-consumption relations and the health-disease process of workers. The institution of the National Occupational Health Policy (PNSTT) affirmed the need for comprehensive care to workers' health and shaped principles, guidelines and strategies within the scope of the Unified Health System (SUS). With regard to primary health care (PHC), the Expanded Center for Family Health and Primary Care (NASF- AB), in which the physiotherapist professional is inserted, presents itself as matrix support and specialized support for the teams of Family Health. The aim of the study was to analyze the reports of professional physiotherapists inserted in the NASF-AB about occupational health, with emphasis on their care practices developed for user-workers present in the territory of primary health care. This is qualitative and exploratory research, guided by the general theory of discourse and having Content Analysis as its fundamental analytical basis. The research was conducted in the city of João Pessoa-PB, from June 24 to July 7, 2020. For the composition of the corpus, interviews were conducted through Google Meet®, guided by a semi-structured interview script. The final sample was established by criteria of the convenience of access and theoretical saturation. Seven physical therapists inserted in the NASF-AB who had at least one year of exercise in the function took part in the study. The analytical categories were mainly organized by the concepts of field actions and core actions, generating subcategories that included assessment actions and physical therapy intervention in occupational health in PHC. We highlight the physiotherapy assessment in OT in PHC, referral of users-workers to the city's reference services, care actions carried out by the physiotherapist and the tools used in health, health promotion and prevention actions in OT, territorialization and surveillance in OT in APS. It is noticed that physiotherapists are increasingly approaching the field of OT, but they need the help of continuing health education to improve their care practices in relation to the user-worker, especially through the incorporation of tools that help them in the territorialization and in the approximation of the situational strategic planning in order to further solidify its health responsibility within the scope of the PHC.
