description Objective: to understand the knowledge of nurses about work accidents. Methods:qualitative research carried out with ten nurses working in Primary Health Care Services. Data collection was performed through recorded semi-structured interview. The speeches were transcribed and analyzed using the categorization technique. Results: two categories emerged in the participants’ speeches: Knowledge about scope and concept of Work Accident; Knowledge about prevention and measures after exposure to biological material. Actions based on changes in the work process and in the qualification of the nursing professional become necessary for adequate and safe care. Conclusion: there was an incipient knowledge of the majority of the interviewees regarding some aspects of occupational health and the need for interventions capable of reducing the occurrence of these accidents.
