Objective: To verify the compliance and noncompliance with health legislation of environmental variables in a Sterile Processing Department. Method: This is an observational and analytical study carried out at the Sterile Processing Department of a regional hospital in a small city of the state of Piauí (Brazil). Data were collected by a checklist in three observations and organized in a table with the presentation of the simple averages. Results: We verified that the average extracted from the three observations for the temperature, noise, humidity, and lighting parameters were: reception and cleaning area — 33°C; 58.9 dB; 36.2%, and 62 lux; packaging and sterilization area — 33.3°C; 60.8 dB; 35.5%, and 57.4 lux; and storage and distribution area — 34.2°C; 57.8 dB; 34.3%, and 53.1 lux. Conclusions: There are inadequacies between the obtained values and the recommendations of the health legislation, which may reflect production losses as well as physical, mental, and psychological consequences for the workers.
