Objective: to promote and analyze an educational action on occupational accidents involving biological material through the integration of care practice and research. Method: a convergent care research study conducted between November 2021 and April 2022 in a hospital located in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Participants included on-duty nurses and representatives from support sectors and committees. The methodological proposal was structured into the phases of conception, instrumentation, exploration, analysis, and interpretation. Data collection methods included document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and convergence groups. Data analysis followed the stages of apprehension, synthesis, theorization, and transfer. Results: a tendency to underestimate risks was identified, highlighting the invisibility of such accidents. Based on participants' suggestions, an educational action was implemented regarding the correct disposal of sharp waste. Final Considerations: participants' reflections on accidents and the development of educational actions represent a pathway to making care practices safer..
