  • Title: Reducing the incidence of sharps injuries.
    Author: Mercier C.
    Journal: Br J Nurs; ; 3(17):897-8, 900-1. PubMed ID: 7994136.
    Abstract:
    Sharps injuries are the primary route through which health care workers acquire blood-borne diseases occupationally (Lynch et al, 1992). In order to reduce the incidence of such injuries effectively within a hospital, it is vital to first ascertain the frequency and types of injuries and then implement a risk-reduction programme based on the specific problems identified.
