Objective: assess the culture of patient safety from the perspective of a multiprofessional maternity team. Method: transversal, quantitative study, through the questionnaire Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. 62 professionals from a hospital in Rio Grande do Sul participated. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics. Results: the team did not identify areas of positive force; two dimensions were neutral, organizational learning and continuous improvement (59,5%); expectation and supervisor action (51,1%). The ten remaining showed potential to improve, being that non-punitive responses to errors (15,5%) and support from management (29,6%) obtained the lowest scores. The majority of professionals did not relate events in twelve months (80,6%) and assessed the degree of patient safety as regular (59,7%). Conclusion: the maternity has a culture of patient safety that is vulnerable, punitive, with weak adherence to notifications, requiring greater initiatives and support from management for essential changes to reach better results.
