Exposure to bloodborne pathogens poses serious health risks, including hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this blog post, we'll explore the risks associated with bloodborne pathogens and provide essential protocols for minimizing exposure and promoting workplace safety.

Bloodborne pathogens pose significant risks to healthcare workers and other occupations at risk of exposure to blood and bodily fluids. By understanding the risks associated with bloodborne pathogens and implementing effective protocols for minimizing exposure, we can protect workers and promote a safe and healthy workplace environment.
