This report shows the experience of report of the elaboration and development of the first stage (classes 1 to 5) of the “Biosafety Course for Oral Health Teams in times of Covid-19”, by professors from the School of Public Health of the State of Bahia Professor Jorge Novis (ESPBA), an institution belonging to Superintendence of Human Resources of the Health Department of the State of Bahia. The experience stems from coping with the Covid-19 pandemic in the State of Bahia, Brazil, considering the forms of transmission of the disease through direct contact with people, through speech, coughing, sneezing and aerosols. Salivary glands are reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the disease, and the dental environment has a high risk of spreading this microorganism. It was a self-instructional course using ESPBA's Moodle EAD-SUS platform, consisting of five video classes, covering the operational part and clinical practice on Biosafety in Covid-19 times. The course was offered by health regions, prioritizing the initial classes according to the epidemiological indicators of the number of cases. The number of enrolled students by health regions, the number of accesses and the number of content and course evaluations were estimated. The interest of professionals in the area in the theme of Biosafety was noted; however, structural and work overload issues may have compromised the performance of all stages of the course. The course obtained excellent evaluation by the students, showing the success of the educational action.
