Summary:Qualitative research on occupational risks at a specialized out-patient unit, in Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, in 2010, from the nursing workers' standpoint. It aims at describing the perceptions those workers have about the effects of work upon their health; discussing solutions proposed for control and/or elimination of the risks. Data were collected by semi structured interviews and submitted to thematic contents analysis. Results unveil contradictory perceptions by subjects on occupational risks, on a range from critical/reflexive to alienated stands about real labor conditions of nursing. Outstanding proposals identified among the subjects included the need for structural reforms, increment of human assets and materials, and consolidation of workers' health policies. Those proposals must help sustain the creation and implementation of a workers' health core at the institution.
