Protecting Yourself When Handling Contaminated Sharps

Favorite Print Email

Retrieved from: Occupational Safety & Health Administration A needlestick or a cut from a contaminated sharp can result in a worker being infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and other bloodborne pathogens. The standard specifies measures to reduce these types of injuries and the risk of infection. Careful handling of contaminated sharps can prevent injury and reduce the risk of infection. Employers must ensure that workers follow these work practices to decrease the workers’ chances of contracting bloodborne diseases. https://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/data_BloodborneFacts/bbfact02.pdf
