This study investigates the working conditions of the family health teams from state of Pará based on the data of the National Program for Access and Quality Improvement in Primary Care. Records were selected that refer to the working conditions of 776 teams from the State of Pará, such as: forms of employment, type of employment contract, materials and the structural part of the health units. Descriptive Statistics were performed. As a result, it was noticed that most of the employment contracts are temporary (65.4%) and the largest form of employee selection is by indication (36.7%). Almost all of the health units have reception and waiting room (94.5%) and vaccine room (89.2). The improvement of the working conditions of the teams is fundamental to sustain the health of these workers. It can reduce illness and accidents at work. As well as increasing the resolution of the care.
