Evaluation Of Occupational Injuries And Safety Awareness Among Health Care Workers In Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria

TUMBA Nuhu, Community Medicine - Ahmadu Bello University, 2007

Abstract:

This study showed a high injury rate among health care workers as shown by other studies. Even though the level of safety awareness is fair, the practice of universal precaution is poor. Hence, concerted effort is needed to encourage health care workers to adhere to the principles of universal precautions, for the sake of their health and that of their patients.
