Introduction: The teacher's work is permeated by a number of adverse factors including poor working conditions, inadequate wages, lack of teaching materials and resources, relationship problems with students, high workload, little or no interest in their work management. Such conditions end up being expressed by teachers through physical and emotional illnesses.

For data collection, it was used a semi-structured questionnaire addressing personal and professional, physical, mental and organizational work. Data analysis was performed using non-parametric statistics, with mean and standard deviation calculations. Results: The results reveal that the bureaucratic activities are the most physically demanding and the mentally ones refer to the lack of interest of students and parents.
