Regarding the topic of health and safety at work, this paper focuses on external communication from businesses belonging to the environmental hygiene sector. A content analysis is carried out, based on data collected from sustainability reports drafted by companies. The analysis shows the disclosure yet a "niche" practice in the sector, with low attitude of companies to inform stakeholders about processes and investments implemented. Differently, communication of results seems more diffused.

Keywords: Health and safety at work, communication and disclosure, sustainability report, content analysis.
