Hundreds of thousands of occupational exposures to the blood and body fluids of patientscan occur each year in healthcare settings. Accidental needlestick or “sharps” injuriescaused by hollow-bore needles, scalpels or other sharp objects constitute an importantoccupational health hazard for healthcare professionals and provide the most importantroute of infection of healthcare workers by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitisB virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV).Both anecdotal and survey data suggest that healthcare students and professional staffreceive variable and often inadequate education and training in infection control. Thepurpose of this article is to present an update about occupational infection risks, withdetails of a new interactive CD-ROM which provides key infection control trainingmaterials on bloodborne viruses, for students and staff.
