Veterinarians, teachers, students and employees of the Veterinary Hospital of the Veterinary and Zootechnical School of the Federal University of Goiás are exposed to daily occupational hazards, including zoonotic pathogens. This study is aimed at analyzing the occurrence of anti-Leptospira spp., Anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies and after pre-exposure rabies vaccination in the internal members of the Veterinary Hospital through the microscopic sero-agglutination technique (SAM), the simplified fluorescence inhibition microtest (SFIMT) and the indirect hemagglutination test. Response to the serovars Automnalis, Copenhageni, Grippotyphosa, Butembo, Icterohaemorrahagiae, Australis and Canícola were detected in 6,15% (8/130). Among the 130 analyzed, 96.15% (125/130) presented serum-neutralization titers for anti-rabies antibodies post-pre-exposure prophylactic vaccination for individual immunological protection and 3.85% (5/130) did not. In relation to the anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, 70% (91/130) were positive. The main activities reported by the participants included clinical care, animal restraint activities, sample collection and analysis, imaging diagnosis, pharmaceutical activities, practical classes, emergency procedures, surgical activities, necropsies and environment clean-up. The reported risk factors were contact with pathogens, accidents with sharp objects, bites, pecks, scratches, recoil, direct contact with secretions and excretions, ionizing radiation, patients of unknown origin, contact with high flow of people and animals, incorrect or incomplete information provided by animal tutors, absence of auxiliaries in some procedures and biological waste. Important biosafety measures pointed out by the participants were: obtain the patient's complete history, use protective equipment correctly, be more careful when carrying out routine procedures, adequate containment of all animals, pre-exposure vaccination of team members, awareness, and proper training and disposal of waste. By demonstrating a sense of the risks and dangers to which they are exposed and by the appropriate biosafety measures, practitioners and students are closer to an adequate level of biosecurity.
