It is a descriptive study that aimed to characterize the accident with needlestick materials and knowing the perception of nursing professionals in face of these accidents. Data were collected through interviews with 22 nursing workers at a teaching hospital in the southern Brazil from March to May 2008. Data were analyzed by thematic analyses according to the content and its frequency. The results pointed out that the accident situation involves: professionals’ negligence/distraction; the needle as the main material involved; the hands as more affected; non- adoption of standard procedures, and non-reported occupational accidents. In conclusion, it is necessary that teaching and assistance institutions improve the work security conditions by organizational structure and education to biosafety practices.
