Needlestick injuries (18th February 2008)
The main group of workers at risk from needlestick injuries are those within the healthcare sector, but injuries also occur in other fields of work. Workers may acquire a blood-borne infection if they are exposed to infected blood or body fluids. Where the skin is punctured or scratched by a needle or sharp device that has been used in a medical procedure this is commonly referred to as a needlestick or sharps injury.
