The research is descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional. The sample universe consisted of 20 health workers including doctors, nurses and Nursing technicians belonging to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of the Trujillo Regional Teaching Hospital; in whom the Biosafety Knowledge Questionnaire and the Biosafety Practices Checklist were applied. For statistical analysis, the Gamma test was used. The results were: The level of knowledge about biosafety in health personnel was mostly low (55%), medium in 40% and high in 5%; biosafety practices were commonly inadequate (70%) and adequate in 30%. Therefore, there is a highly significant relationship between the level of knowledge and biosafety practices (p<0.01).
