Abstract
Objective: To verify in the literature the knowledge of health professionals about the use of biosafety materials in the hospital environment. Methods: This is an integrative review, which investigated studies published in electronic databases from January 2014 to September 2019, with the descriptors “Biosafety”; "Hospital"; "Healthcare professional"; “Accident Prevention” and “Hospital Patient Admission Service. After selection according to the criteria, five studies were used. Results: The literature points out that, in addition to the lack of knowledge and adequate materials, incorrect handling of the use of Personal Protective Equipment makes it difficult for health professionals to adhere to the hospital environment. Final Considerations: Studies show that health professionals need knowledge about the risks they are exposed to in the work environment, as well as awareness for proper use, minimizing occupational accidents and reducing the number of infections.
