2020 marks 20 years since the passage of the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act (NSPA). The Act required the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to update its Bloodborne Pathogens Standard to include new protections for workers facing exposures to blood, body fluids, and other potentially infectious materials.
As a nation, we saw great strides for decreasing incidence of injuries from blood collection devices, IV catheters, and lancets. Technologies got better, safer, and more intuitive and the tide changed for the benefit of exposure prevention. Today, however, reported incidents of injuries continue to occur.
This webinar, sponsored by BD, will provide background on the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and Needlestick Safety & Prevention Act (NSPA), showcase the Safety Center and the advantages of EPINet, highlight the latest EPINet data to illustrate how far we’ve come, and how far we still need to go, review best practices for needlestick prevention; control; and disposal, and discuss commonly heard challenges and describe potential solutions.
Register now for this live webinar to learn from our expert about on her approach for moving sharps safety forward.
