ABSTRACT
Needlestick injuries are a frequent occurrence in hospital settings. Needlesticks can also happen when people aren't careful when disposing of used needles or other medical equipment in an unsanitary or inadequate sharps container. Occupational needlestick injuries are more likely to occur when workers do not have access to or choose not to use available personal protective equipment.
Key words: Needlestick, Among Health Care Providers
