NIOSH
Hazards to Healthcare Workers:
Health care is the second-fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy, employing
over 12 million workers. Women represent nearly 80% of the health care work force.
Health care workers face a wide range of hazards on the job, including needlestick
injuries, back injuries, latex allergy, violence, and stress. Although it is
possible to prevent or reduce health care worker exposure to these hazards, health
care workers actually are experiencing increasing numbers of occupational injuries
and illnesses. Rates of occupational injury to health care workers have risen
over the past decade. By contrast, two of the most hazardous industries, agriculture
and construction, are safer today than they were a decade ago. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh .
