Introduction: Biosafety aims to promote infection control measures to protect the health team, academics and the community against exposure to potentially pathogenic biological agents. Objective: to analyze the scientific evidence available in the literature that refer to the teaching and knowledge of nursing students about biosafety. Method: integrative literature review using the LILACS, MedLine, Scielo, BDENF and PubMed databases. Publications from January 2000 to June 2018 were used. Results: Three categories emerged: Students' knowledge about biosafety; Teaching biosafety in undergraduate nursing courses; Challenges to be faced in favor of teaching biosafety. Final Considerations: Nursing students have little knowledge on the subject. As for the teaching method used, it has not been effective in covering the needs of students. There are many challenges to be faced in teaching related to the theme in Nursing.
