Background: Providing a safe environment for patients and the operating room staff during postoperative care is essential. The purpose of the study was to determine the operating room team members' understanding of surgical smoke safety.Methods: 894 people, including surgeons, anaesthetists, surgical technicians, anaesthesia technicians, and surgical nurses, came forward to participate in the cross-sectional survey. There was a total of 35 questions in the survey that determined socio-demographic data, such as age, gender, occupation, years spent working in the operating room, if there are any diseases present, and symptoms brought on by surgical smoke, as well as surgical smoke prevention techniques, as well as the protocols used regarding where they work and the degree of knowledge about surgical smoke. The data was gathered through in-personinterviews. Results: The study's participants had an average age of 34.82 ± 7.01 years. It was discovered that 74% of the participants were women, 63.19% were nurses, 47.98% had experience working in an operating room for at least three years, and 81.99% had a monthly work hour of fewer than 200 hours. 82.21% of the sample group were found to be free of chronic illness.It was shown that chronic illness development occurred more frequently (25.06%) once work in the operation room had begun. Headache (59.06%) and Eye discomfort (41.05%) were the two most common health problems experienced by OR healthcare professionals.Majority of the individuals participating in the study did not receive training on surgical smoke and stated that the institution did not have a waste gas protocol. Conclusions: To bring the operating room staff's knowledge to a sufficient level and raise their awareness of occupational health and occupational exposure, the institution needs to implement policies, supervise employees, and provide well-designed educational programmes.
