Abstract
This study was an evaluation of the health profile of workers at a campus of the Institute of Education in the state of Goias, Brazil. All workers were invited to participate. Nine questionnaires were used, with questions focusing on musculoskeletal symptoms, postural habits, physical activity level, dietary habits, quality of life, quality of life at work, quality of sleep, and anthropometric assessment. The results indicated that 77.3% of evaluated workers consider themselves to be in good health. In addition, workers reported a good self-perception of health. With regards to sleep time, 66.7% reported sleeping 6 hours or less per night, which is considered inadequate. We found that 53.6% of participants did not perform any physical activity, and the lack of such practices can compromise their professional and personal life. To ensure improved professional performance, it is important to prioritize the welfare of workers so that there is a balance between the quality of life of workers and their workplace.

Summary
The number of health problems caused by chronic diseases has risen with industrial advances in society, increasing by 80% in the adult population. This is due to unfavorable working conditions, which can lead to poor physical and emotional health of workers and, contribute to the increasing number of workers retiring due to disability or total or partial incapacity (Braga, 2011).
