Abstract Introduction: Sanitary inspection verifies compliance with technical standards and regulations for safety and quality. The Health Surveillance of Minas Gerais has a notification procedure for sanitary risk situations that allows the systematic collection and analysis of data related to health inspections. These data are used to identify the sanitary hazard in the territory and the consequent definition of actions. Objective: To determine the irregularities most frequently encountered during health inspections carried   out in Minas Gerais. Method: Cross-sectional study of sanitary irregularities reported by health inspectors of Minas Gerais in the form of risk notification and risk situation sheet 2019 (Planilha de Notificações de Riscos e Situações de Riscos 2019). The frequencies found for each type of irregularity were determined and ordered. Results: The most commonly found irregularities are, in decreasing order: Documentation/Quality Assurance issues; Inadequate infrastructure; Organization and Hygiene irregularities; Equipment irregularities, including preventive maintenance and calibration; Failure in product quality; Human resources, and waste management issues. All of these irregularities have varying degrees of potential health risk, even though they are often subject to the same course of action, educational and/or coercive, by the Health Surveillance. Conclusions: The knowledge of the main irregularities found in the inspected establishments is a highly relevant information for health inspection for the purposes of territorial diagnosis, optimization of the work process and to guide the education and instruction actions, in order to allow an effective intervention of the services in these problems.
