Needlestick injuries occur in a huge range of different sectors,
including the construction, maintenance and demolition industries, as
well as in more obvious workplaces such as healthcare facilities or in
the probation and prison services. While needlesticks do not always lead
to serious injuries, personal injury solicitors have represented
clients in accident at work claims following instances when a
needlestick has exposed workers to HIV, Hepatitis B and C, or other
blood-borne viruses.
Fortunately, most needlesticks are not
contaminated, as relatively few people in the UK have blood-borne
viruses, although some demographics, such as intravenous drug users,
have disproportionately high rates of these illnesses.
Avoiding needlestick workplace injury claims
Employers
must take reasonable steps to prevent their staff from sustaining
needlestick injuries, and if they fail to do so and a worker is struck
by a needle as a result of this injury, the employer could be liable in
accident at work compensation claims. Therefore, businesses should
provide their staff with protective gloves and first aid equipment if
needlestick injuries have been identified as a risk.
If workers
cannot see where their hands are going, then they should wear their
protective gloves to avoid injury. Any abrasions, cuts or open wounds
should be covered up with waterproof plasters. Employers should never
ask an employee to pick up or touch a discarded needle without
appropriate protective equipment. Furthermore, safe disposal systems
should be established so employees can safely get rid of needles.
As a result, to prevent accident at work compensation claims involving needlesticks, employers should:
- Consider who could get struck by a needlestick
- Address this hazard in risk assessments
- Develop safe systems of work for dealing with needlesticks
- Know what to do in the event of a needlestick injury
