	<span style="line-height:1.5;">The accidents of blood
exposure are a real threat to the health personnel. According to our knowledge, in
both hospitals, some actions in the prevention of accidents of blood exposure
have been implemented. We have therefore conducted a survey about knowledge,
attitudes and practices during the month of May 2013 in order to assess the
current situation, to measure the overall level of knowledge an</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">d practices of
personnel exposed. A survey was sent to 384 people using the interview
technique directly. The salient results indicate that 81.3% of them admitted to having suffered from an
accident of blood exposure and the results showed a good knowledge of the risk
of contamination three HBV, HCV and HIV. The rate of vaccination against
hepatitis B is 21.6%. 61.2% of accidents of blood exposure were occurred
during recapping of needles, a gesture considered at risk. What to do in case
of accidents of blood exposure appears to be insufficiently known by our
sample. Accidents of blood exposure are still a concern in our community.
Regular information and education office to best practice campaigns are needed
to reduce the impact of these preventable incidents by simple measures.</span>
