REDUCING THE PREVALENCE OF SHARPS INJURIES
Join our on-demand webinar: Sharps injuries—impact, trends and successful reduction strategies
1 CNE contact hour awarded through September 15, 2021
Exposure to bloodborne pathogens can be devastating to healthcare workers (HCWs) and their families, and occupational health professionals devote a significant portion of their practice on minimizing these exposures. This webinar will demonstrate how research and evidence-based practices can inform HCWs and their management of this crucial concern and offer ways to reduce blood exposures.
This webinar, sponsored collaboratively by BD and the Association of Occupational Health Professionals in Healthcare (AOHP), will include results of the 2018 AOHP-sponsored Exposure Survey of Trends in Occupational Practice (EXPO-S.T.O.P.), the trends in national incidence and an overview of successful reduction strategies used by hospitals to reduce their blood exposures.
Join our experts (see below) as they identify ways to halt blood exposure incidence.
