Introduction: Psychosocial risk and its consequences, namely stress, violence at work, and harassment, are interrelated and compromise the health, safety, and well-being of workers and their families. Objective: To evaluate psychosocial risks among members of the Family Health Strategy teams of a municipality in the state of São Paulo (Brazil). Methods: The instrument Health Safety Executive – Indicator Tool, validated and with cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese, was applied together with a questionnaire on personal characteristics of workers of the 14 Family Health Strategy units, between May and July 2022. The research was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic, when population mobility had been brought back to normality amid political and economic issues. Results: From a total of 270 workers, 126 answered the questionnaire form, being 64 Community Health Agents, 6 coordinators, 26 nurses, 11 physicians, 4 dentists, 14 nursing technicians, and 1 dental technician. The psychosocial risk perception concerning peers and leadership support ranged between 10 and 11.45%. As for control, it accounted for 22.34%; changes and communication, 17.64%; demands, 20.76%; and relationships, 13.65%. We observed statistical significance in terms of position in questions related to work, breaks, suggestions, and respect of coworkers. Conclusions: According to our results, measures for improving the work process and structure should be taken so that the situation does not worsen and compromises workers’ health and the quality of care provided to the population.
