Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology, 08/31/09
Leggat PA et al. – The exposure rate of needlestick and sharps injuries (NSI) is high for Queensland veterinarians and clearly remains a major occupational health problem. Current guidelines and strategies to reduce NSI in veterinary practice should be promoted, but appear to be adapted from human health care. Studies to understand why veterinarians have such high NSI rates are required to not only identify risk factors for NSI, but also to determine attitudes and beliefs about NSI. From these studies specific strategies for veterinarians can be designed and trialed to develop evidence–based guidelines and policies that are effective in decreasing the exposure rate of NSI in veterinary practice.
