Foi um estudo transversal, realizado de dezembro de 2011 a julho de 2012. Utilizou-se questionário estruturado, análise descritiva e de prevalência. Participaram do estudo 487 profissionais, a prevalência global de profissionais acidentados por exposição a material biológico foi de 17,0%, a avaliação médica pós-acidente ocorreu em 35,5% dos casos e a notificação obrigatória do acidente para apenas 29,7%.
