description Objective: The present study assessed the self-reported index of the orthopedic surgery team regarding the safe surgery protocol and application of the checklist. Method: Descriptive study conducted in two hospitals of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, between June and October 2016, with 133 professionals, doctors (mentors/residents), nurses and nursing technicians. Professionals on medical leave, vacation/ holidays were not included in the survey. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics using measures of central tendency and dispersion. Results: 83.3% (25) of the physicians and 95.1% (98) of the nursing workers said they were aware of the protocol. Of the surgeons, 30% (9) reported that time out is a common practice in surgeries. The same percentage (30) of surgeons said they have experienced laterality errors or retained surgical items inadvertently left in body spaces. Conclusion: it is concluded that the guidelines for application of the surgical safety checklist must to be more widely disseminated/monitored, to ensure that the appropriate actions targeted to patient safety are taken.
