Summary:The emergence of a pandemic highlights the translational demands regarding science. This communication aims to propose theoretical-methodological elements for research on health work in pandemic context. This reflective essay sets an framework for a research project on health work in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Three axes or subsidies are presented: the construction of work environments as an analytical component, the approach of ergology as a potential and the centrality of the experiences of the worker-subject. New health care challenges require attention to what workers have to say about their forms of confrontation and translation of knowledge.
