Sharps Safety & Needlestick Prevention - Online Inservice

Needlestick and other sharps injuries remain a persistent and serious occupational hazard for healthcare workers in hospitals, long-term care, home health, and outpatient settings. These injuries not only carry the risk of transmitting bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but they also create significant emotional and psychological stress for the affected worker.

This comprehensive course is designed specifically for Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), Patient Care Technicians (PCTs), and other direct care providers who frequently encounter sharps in their daily duties - whether through direct patient care, assisting licensed staff, or managing the environment where sharps are used.
