Method: an integrative review, carried out on LILACS, Scopus, and MEDLINE/PUBMED databases, between August and September of 2019. The descriptors “ergonomics”, “cleaning service”, and their synonyms were combined using Boolean operators. Results: from the 21 articles analyzed, intervention studies prevailed and were classified with a level of evidence 2 (52%); carried out in the year 2012 (33.3%), in Sweden (38%), with hospital cleaning staff (47.6%). The use of ergonomic education strategies, changes in work tools, aerobic exercise, a method for risk assessment, surveillance protocol, task diary, updating with organizational and psychosocial factors at work were evidenced.
