Results: The analysis revealed two categories: 'Being-in-the-world', experiencing an accident with biological fluids and Transcendence through work reorganization, which describe the experience of the nursing workers who had accidents with biological fluids, in addition to the context in which accidents occur, marked by work-overload. Conclusion: The results indicate intervention strategies for the reorganization of the work process, fundamental to the reduction of accidents with biological fluids.
