Abstract

This study aimed to verify the implantation of Regulatory Norm 32 in a hospital in the north of the Brazilian state of Paraná. An exploratory, descriptive case study was carried out through a recorded interview with a nurse from the Hospital Infection Control Committee, in June 2010. It was noticed that the institution has difficulties in relation to the implantation of the Norm, including unavailability of, and failure to use, personal protective equipment, and inadequate physical structure and overloading of containers for the disposal of sharps. It is concluded that despite these difficulties, some aspects were adopted in relation to the norm and a commission was set up with the objective of implanting it in line with governmental regulations.
