    Introduction: Biosafety standards are a set of rules and techniques for safety. They regulate and guide health practices to protect personnel while handling of pathogenic and infectious agents and their associated procedures. Objective: To analyze scientific literature on compliance with biosafety regulations in nursing staff. Methods: A systematic bibliographic research using a qualitative approach was carried out according to the PRISMA methodology. The following information sources, SciELO, PubMed, Dialnet, Taylor & Francis, Scopus, ProQuest, Web of Science, search engines from the Virtual Library UCACUE, Google Scholar, bibliographic documents in English and Spanish in the last five years, a combination of keywords, and DeCS and Boolean operators AND and OR were used. Results: It was found that there is a non-compliance with biosafety standards and protocols in the intra-hospital environment by professionals; even though they have enough knowledge; the aspects of most significant non-compliance were correct hand washing, use of personal protective equipment, sharps waste handling, and blood and fluid exposure accidents. Conclusions: Biosafety standards must be correctly applied to avoid accidents when treating patients and handling elements that transmit microorganisms, which may affect health. Keywords: compliance, biosafety, intra-hospital, nursing
