The aim of this study was to obtain information on the level of exposure and protection of workers to biological agents at work in relation to the preventive system choosen for the companies. An study in which 590 workers from 59 Spanish companies in which 2 questionnaires were given, one for the company and other for the workers, yielding a final sample of 518 workers from 51 companies in which there is exposure to biological agents. Our results provide significant differences in the management of occupational exposure to biological agents depending on the preventive system chosen by the company concluding that the protection is not fully developed because there are not enough tools available that allow easy implementation and the overall management of biological risks is inadequate.
