Having more than one job is the case in 36% of those polled. Perception of biological risks affects 77.9%; 50.7% is exposed to chemical substances and 51.7% handles heavy loads. The most frequent health problems were: gastritis (28.3%), obesity (24.3%), low back pain (19.6%), sleep disorders (14.1%), and high blood pressure (12.4%). The proportions of non stable workers and employees with more than one job, as well as the high perception of risks in the work environment should motivate the formulation of policies and regulations to improve work and employment conditions. Esta investigación se propuso caracterizar las condiciones de empleo, identificar riesgos laborales percibidos el trabajador y estimar la frecuencia de problemas de salud referidos por los integrantes de los equipos de salud de hospitales de la ciudad de Córdoba dependientes del Ministerio de Salud de la provincia de Córdoba.Se realizó un estudio de corte transversal sobre 453 trabajadores pertenecientes a hospitales públicos provinciales de la ciudad de Córdoba, seleccionados mediante muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple, con un nivel de confianza del 95% y un error muestral del 5%, en quienes se aplicó un cuestionario autoadministrado durante el segundo semestre de 2012.Se halló que el 35% del personal está vinculado laboralmente mediante formas de contratación no permanentes. El pluriempleo alcanza al 36% de los encuestados. La percepción de riesgos biológicos alcanza el 77,9%, el 50,7% se expone a sustancias químicas y el 51,7% manipula cargas físicas de gran volumen. Los problemas de salud más frecuentemente señalados fueron: gastritis (28,3%), obesidad (24,3%), lumbalgia (19,6%), alteraciones del sueño (14,1%), tensión arterial elevada (12,4%). Las proporciones de trabajadores no estables y de pluriempleo, y la elevada percepción de riesgos en el ámbito laboral deberían motivar la formulación de políticas y normativas de mejora de las condiciones de trabajo y empleo.
