Occupational exposure to biological fluids is inherent in the work performed by the nursing staff during the implementation of assistance, making the worker liable to accidents and exposed to body fluids that may contain various pathogens causing diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B and C. This is a qualitative study that aimed to understand the experience of the accident with biological fluid and assistance to the nursing staff, considering their care needs. Individual interviews were conducted with the following question: \"Tell me how it was for you to have crashed with biological fluid?. The reports were analyzed in the light of Martin Heidegger Referential where Ontological Unifications following emerged: Being in the world experiencing the accident with biological fluid ; The anguish because you are injured in biological fluid ; The manifest need for nursing workers after the accident with biological material : experiencing authentic care ; Experiencing care inauthentic and impersonality after work accident with biological material ; Resilience and reorganization of work through transcendence . The results show that after the accident with biological fluid workers experience distress and assisting rugged working is effective for clinical and outpatient follow- through care protocol, but it does not address fundamental issues considered in view of the individual who suffers the accident.
