Resumo: Nursing work exposes workers to risks that can lead to accidents and/or diseases. However, few studies investigate these risks and their consequences for nursing staff in outpatient services. The overall objective was to investigate the risk factors referred to by members of the nursing staff who work in outpatient specialties of a university hospital in the Midwest of Brazil. This cross-sectional, prospective, descriptive study, the data collection was performed using an instrument containing semi - structured questions administered at the time and place of work of the employee. The study included 76 nurses, with a mean age of 50 years, with time working in nursing for 17 years and working in outpatient service nine years. The results consisted of 410 responses concerning the exposure of professionals to risk factors, among which 133 were biological, psychosocial 133, 93 ergonomics, 32 physical and chemical 19. Approximately 90% of professionals reported using some type of Personal Protective Equipment, with gloves and masks the most used. Concern about occupational risks is insufficient to avoid them. New investigations on the subject are essential, as well as investments in preventive measures, such as physical infrastructure and continuing education.
