Abstract

The general objective of the research was to describe biosafety for occupational risk reduction. It was based on a quantitative research approach, as the data obtained from the study of the variables were analyzed quantitatively. The entire study population was considered as a sample, consisting of 102 medical students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Non-probabilistic census sampling, also called total population sampling, was used. In conclusion, it is not enough to know what ‘biosafety’ means, possible education and general awareness through it, but also to take into account the suitability of indicators for its use: measurements, results, risks, among others. This will allow measuring the risk of exposure in the laboratory with evidence and technical support, and can be used not only as a basis for improving services, but mainly for the safety of operators and healthcare teams
