Objetivo: avaliar o conhecimento de profissionais sobre práticas preconizadas para higiene ambiental da sala operatória. Método: estudo do tipo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em um centro cirúrgico. Foram incluídos profissionais de enfermagem e profissionais de higiene e limpeza para preencherem um questionário contendo questões sobre precauções padrão, precauções específicas e práticas de higiene ambiental. Resultados: no total, 57 profissionais responderam o questionário. Os escores médios de acertos foram de 76,30 para os profissionais de enfermagem e 58,33 para os profissionais de higiene. Evidenciou-se a baixa frequência na realização de treinamentos sobre o tema, fragilidades no conhecimento sobre uso de Equipamento de Proteção Individual, na definição de superfícies frequentemente tocadas e na sequência de descontaminação da sala operatória. Conclusão: a discrepância entre os escores de conhecimento evidencia a necessidade de estabelecer protocolos claros e realizar treinamentos específicos para todas as categorias de profissionais envolvidos na higiene ambiental.
