Book excerpt: Long-term health care workers face a variety of hazards in their work. These hazards can result in back injuries, slips and falls, "burnout," or the effects of shiftwork. Recently, the risks from exposure to bloodborne pathogens, such as human immunodeficiency (HIV) and hepatitis B (HBV) viruses, have become a concern. According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates, more than 5.6 million workers in health care and related occupations could be potentially exposed to these viruses. Long-term health care workers provide services to patients in nursing homes, hospices, mental institutions and home-care settings, and they care for people with long-term illnesses, such as cancer and AIDS. Consequently, these workers perform daily tasks that expose them to blood and other potentially infectious materials--such as administering insulin or other injections, using equipment to suction patients' lungs to help them breathe, and changing linens or dressings soiled by bed sores or other open wounds. OSHA recognizes the need for a regulation to protect these workers against the health hazards of exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials, including bloodborne pathogens, and to reduce their risk to this exposure.

Download or read book Preventing Occupational Exposures to Infectious Disease in Health Care written by Amber Hogan Mitchell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide for preventing occupational exposures to bloodborne and infectious disease in health care. It is a timely and essential resource given that people working in healthcare settings sustain a higher incidence of occupational illness than any other industry sector, and at the time of publication of this book we are in the midst of a global pandemic of COVID-19. While the guide is focused on health care primarily, it would be useful for preventing exposures to essential workers in many other industries as well. The guide offers easy-to-follow instruction, all in one place, for creating, implementing, and evaluating occupational health and safety programs. Readers have practical information that they can use now to either build a new program or expand an existing one that protects workers from occupationally associated illness and infection. With a focus on the public health significance of building better, safer programs in health care, the book provides not just the evidence-based or data-driven reasoning behind building successful programs, but also includes sample programs, plans, checklists, campaigns, and record-keeping and surveillance tools. Topics explored among the chapters include: • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulatory Compliance • Other Regulatory Requirements, National Standards, and Accreditation • Performing a Hazard Assessment and Building an Exposure Control Plan • Engineering Controls and Safer Medical Devices • Personal Protective Equipment Placement and Use • Facing a Modern Pandemic Preventing Occupational Exposures to Infectious Disease in Health Care is a comprehensive resource for both seasoned and novice professionals with primary, secondary, or ancillary responsibility for occupational or employee health and safety, infection prevention, risk management, or environmental health and safety in a variety of healthcare or patient care settings. It also would appeal to those working in public health, nursing, medical, or clinical technical trades with an interest in infection prevention and control and/or occupational health and infectious disease.
