“Each year, roughly 300,000 hospital workers are exposed to bloodborne pathogens. These workers are at substantial risk due to frequent contact with patients, biological materials, and contaminated environments. Such exposures can result in significant physical, psychological, and economic consequences for affected workers and hospitals. Prior studies suggest that factors such as job role, work location, shift timing, and deviations from infection prevention guidelines may increase the likelihood of exposure to bloodborne pathogens among healthcare workers.”
