Needlestick injuries in the aesthetic clinic: risk of exposure and prevention

Needlestick injuries in the aesthetic clinic: risk of exposure and prevention Sharps injuries are one of the main occupational hazards experienced by health professionals. In all health-care settings, there is the risk of occupational exposure to blood-borne infections, from either a needlestick injury or a splash from blood or bodily fluids onto mucous membranes or open wounds. It is important to understand that there are two main areas of consideration following either a needlestick injury or exposure to blood or bodily fluids: the person who is exposed and the source. Careful planning and robust sharp injuries policies need to be in place, especially in aesthetics, where there are a number of practitioners that may be classified as lone workers. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Aesthetic Nursing Mark Allen Group

Abstract

Sharps injuries are one of the main occupational hazards experienced by health professionals. In all health-care settings, there is the risk of occupational exposure to blood-borne infections, from either a needlestick injury or a splash from blood or bodily fluids onto mucous membranes or open wounds. It is important to understand that there are two main areas of consideration following either a needlestick injury or exposure to blood or bodily fluids: the person who is exposed and the source. Careful planning and robust sharp injuries policies need to be in place, especially in aesthetics, where there are a number of practitioners that may be classified as lone workers.
