Abstract

People who work in clinical laboratories are at permanent risk of occupational accidents due to exposure to biological material. Based on this premise, this article aims to assess the biological risk in the clinical laboratories of the southern state university of Manabí. Based on the theories proposed by the BIOGAVAL method. The methodology was of an observational-descriptive type with an exploratory component constituted by the users of the University's clinical laboratory through the information provided through the applied instrument. The results made it possible to verify that there is a vulnerability of contagion towards biological agents that have air as a route of contamination, as they are expansive and easy to contact to lodge and produce the disease, allowing to conclude that the greatest risk factors were mycobacterium tuberculosis , the hepatitis C and D virus and the influenza virus.
