How do you describe a needle stick injury?
Needlestick injuries happen when a sharp object, such as a needle, syringe or blade, accidentally breaks the skin. A needlestick injury can expose you to blood-borne viruses (for example hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV) or dangerous substances, such as medicines, drugs or chemicals.
Does OSHA require a sharps injury log?
OSHAs Recordkeeping regulation, 29 CFR 1904.8(a), requires employers to record all work-related needlestick injuries and cuts from sharp objects that are contaminated with another persons blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM).
What is the correct procedure for a sharps injury?
Treating needlestick injuries Wash the area gently with soap and running tap water as soon as possible. Apply an antiseptic and a clean dressing. Obtain prompt medical advice from your local doctor or hospital emergency department, preferably within 24 hours. Dispose of the needle safely.
