Essential Needlestick Prevention Training: Protect Your Staff and Meet OSHA Standards
Needle and sharp injuries pose the most serious threat to healthcare workers. Occupational blood exposures increase the risk of life-threatening infections and add immense psychological burdens. And they are expensive, not only for treating employees, but also for employers through post-exposure follow-up, lost productivity, and even OSHA violations.
In only 15 minutes, a new Needlestick Prevention Training Video instructs frontline healthcare staff on the basics of needlestick and sharps injury prevention. Highlighting the five most frequent needlestick scenarios, your staff will learn valuable information on how to avoid needlesticks—and what to do when one occurs.
By viewing this video from HcPro, your staff will benefit from:
- Concise explanation of OSHA and CDC compliant sharps injury prevention regulations
- Up-to-date secondary prevention technology
- Instruction on proper needlestick prevention techniques, behaviors, and situations to avoid.
A bonus CD-ROM includes tools and evaluation forms for sharps safety programs, an employee quiz, prevention and post-exposure posters, and real needlestick stories from healthcare workers.
Show your entire staff the simple steps they can follow to reduce needlesticks and prevent sharps injuries. To order your copy, click on this link: Needlestick Prevention Training Video.
