Healthcare workers (HCWs) are occupationally exposed to a variety of infectious diseases during the performance of their duties. Moreover, these workers can be found in a variety of workplace settings, including hospitals, nursing care facilities, outpatient clinics (e.g., medical and dental offices, and occupational health clinics), ambulatory care centers, and emergency response settings. The diversity among HCWs and their workplaces makes occupational exposure to infectious diseases especially challenging. For example, not all workers in the same healthcare facility, not all individuals with the same job title, and not all healthcare facilities will be at equal risk of occupational exposure to infectious agents.
Help protect our healthcare workers by making sure your office is in compliance with OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030).
