The study included 15 articles. It was found that the articles analyzed, 20% (three) focused on the historical review of developments in knowledge and practices of isolation / precautions, 20% (three) accidents that occurred between health professionals, 13% (two) the concept and practice of nursing technicians, 13% (two) biosecurity measures, 13% (two) vaccination and biosecurity measures against hepatitis B, 13% (two) accidents with biological material with undergraduate students and 8% (one ) professionals who work at the Family Health Strategy. Findings showed that the number of publications produced by nurses about biosafety in nursing is still very limited and can be explored with further studies. It should be noted there is need for training courses and continuing education addressing biosecurity measures for the prevention of contamination, elimination or reduction of risks related to labor activities found in the workplace.
