Lowering exposure to bloodborne diseases correctional health care


I'm not in correctional nursing, but as an occ-health nurse I found this and thought it might be useful to you in the field:

http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/correctionalhcw/

"By visiting jails and prisons, NIOSH [National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health] researchers learned more about practices and procedures being used to protect these health care workers from bloodborne diseases. Professional organizations and other government agencies also helped identify prominent problems within correctional health care. From these efforts, we noted many helpful work practices and some common areas for improvement for managers/administrators and frontline workers."
