What is Sharp Injury Prevention

The revised bloodborne pathogen standards (BPS) focus heavily on preventing needle-stick and sharps injuries. This is to address the continuing high number of occupational injuries in healthcare. Also, Hepatitis C is a serious concern. Most occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens occurs through sharps.

The objective of the sharps injury prevention training is to help you understand why the revised BPS standards prohibit the use of hazardous sharps and injuries. As you go through the sharps injury prevention training, you’ll learn why the standards recommend using SESIPs and prohibiting hazardous sharps and needle devices.

We’ll introduce you to the two concepts of injury prevention: the barrier precaution concept and the hierarchy of controls concept. You’ll also learn about work practices that can prevent sharps injury.

Lastly, you’ll learn about sharps injury prevention (SIP) programs. The sharps injury prevention training also covers the SIP program. In the SIP section, we’ll take a look at the components of an SIP program and how to run it effectively.
