• Abstract: The objective was to identify the health work relationship conditions of the military firefighters of the 4th Military Firefighter Battalion of Paraíba, being of the quantitative, descriptive, transversal and field type. The population was constituted by 58 Military Firefighters Belonging to the 4th Battalion of Military Firefighter of Paraíba. Two questionnaires were used: the first questionnaire for Quality of Life and Health Assessment (QVS-80) modified and the second questionnaire used was the adapted Goldberg. The results show that the soldiers of the 4th Military Firefighter Battalion of Paraiba who participated in the research had long working hours resulting in a direct effect in decreasing the time available for other physical activities, raising harmful demands to health and favoring work problems. Weight overload and problems with ergonomics have been the variables most pointed out in the study as predictive of the appearance of health problems for military firefighters. Wide service days produce difficulties in personal, social and family relationships, in addition to influencing the time available for health care, thus leading to occupational diseases. With this, the workers end up reducing the hours for physical exercises that could help in their performance and in the reduction of health problems. This study recommends specific actions, especially in adapting the work environment in terms of ergonomics and exercises aimed at physical conditioning, aiming to preserve the well-being of these soldiers so that they remain active and collaborate even more with the regional society, ensuring compliance with the mission to safeguard the lives and property of the population.
