Needlestick and biting accidents and other risky injuries
What to do in the event of needlestick or biting accidents and other risky injuries that may have put you in contact with the blood and sometimes other bodily fluids of other people.
At work or in your free time, you could suffer a variety of injuries and come in contact with the blood, and sometimes other bodily fluids, of other people as a result. If this blood contains viruses such as Hepatitis B, C, or HIV, then, depending on the injury, a person may become infected with this virus. These are known as risky injuries.
