The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard as amended by the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act requiring the use of safety-engineered medical devices to prevent needlesticks and sharps injuries has been in place since 2001. Injury changes over time include differences between those from non-safety compared with safety-engineered medical devices. This research compares two US occupational incident surveillance systems to determine whether these data can be generalized to other facilities and other countries either with legislation in place or considering developing national policies for the prevention of sharps injuries among healthcare personnel.
美国职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的血源性病原体标准经《针具安全与预防法案》修订后，要求使用安全工程医疗器械来预防针刺和锐器伤害，自 2001 年以来一直生效。随着时间的推移，伤害情况有所变化，包括非安全工程医疗器械和安全工程医疗器械之间的差异。本研究比较了两个美国职业事故监测系统，以确定这些数据是否可以推广到其他设施和其他国家，无论这些国家是否已经立法或正在考虑制定预防医护人员锐器伤害的国家政策。
