The article discusses the health of workers in the Unified Health System (SUS) in times of crisis and the consequences of the new management model of the Brazilian Hospital Services Company for workers health at the Getúlio Vargas University Hospital. The research was based on the qualitative and quantitative approach. For data collection, two types of forms containing open and closed questions were used. The first type of form was applied to statutory and celetistas workers of different professional categories and the second to workers of the teams that work with the promotion of workers health. Participant observation and annotation in a field diary were also used. The research revealed that the main factors that cause damage workers’ health are related to the deficient physical structure; with the precarious conditions of safety in the work environment and also with the existence of different employment links in the same hospital. With respect to the difficulties of promoting workers health, the low financial investment and lack of human resources in health teams stand out.
