Methods: This is a literature integrative review of the last five years held in databases Lilacs, BDEnf and Medline.

Results: Worker cleaning service in their work activities are exposed to all occupational risks. Occupational diseases identified these workers are diverse, but stands out: musculoskeletal disorders and dermatitis. The educational measures must focus on training/continuing education.
