The study aimed to identify the sociodemographic and occupational profile of workers in the campus hall of a university. It is a quantitative, descriptive research, being used a form consisting of demographic and occupational data. The sample consisted of 307 workers. The results showed that most employees were male (85.3%), in a stable relationship (73.3%), aged 41-60 years (78.2%), and demonstrated that aging workforce is striking. Regarding occupational data, the largest share of workers worked in the position of operating aid (71.9%), with admission time in the institution greater than 11 years (79.8%), performed overtime (75.5%), and 5.5% of the workers were readjusted or readequated. We conclude that it is important to identify the characteristics of workers to implement institutional interventions aimed at providing conditions that favor the prevention of diseases related to work activities and ensuring that workers maintain their functional capacity.
