This scientific article aims to analyze the prevailing occupational risks in the retail work environment, emphasizing the physical and psychosocial implications for workers' health. The research was developed through an integrative literature review, covering publications up to 2021, excluding the unionist bias to focus on pathophysiology and labor ergonomics. It was observed that the routine in commerce, characterized by long hours, prolonged orthostatism, and pressure for goals, significantly contributes to the development of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) and common mental disorders, such as Burnout Syndrome. The analysis, from the perspective of Occupational Nursing and based on specialization in critical care, evidences that the absence of preventive measures can aggravate chronic conditions, leading to increased absenteeism and deterioration of quality of life. It is concluded that the nurse's role in the early identification of risks and the implementation of health education is vital to mitigate morbidity in this sector.
