Abstract

Qualitative research developed with nursing professionals in a hospital in a town in the interior of Paraná State, with the objectives of identifying workers’ knowledge of biological risks and to reflect on work-related accidents which had happened. Three workshops were held, with the construction of a cause tree being utilized as a methodological reference, as a way of making reflection about exposure to biological fluids during workplace accidents possible. The meetings generated reflections about the participants’ practice, contributing to the construction of preventive attitudes.
