Coronavirus disease 2019 poses an occupational health risk to health-care workers. Several thousand health-care workers have already been infected, mainly in China. Preventing intra-hospital transmission of the communicable disease is therefore a priority. Based on the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model, the strategies and measures to protect health-care workers in an acute tertiary hospital are described along the domains of work task, technologies and tools, work environmental factors, and organizational conditions. The principle of zero occupational infection remains an achievable goal that all health-care systems need to strive for in the face of a potential pandemic.
2019冠状病毒病对医护人员构成职业健康风险。已有数千名医护人员被感染，主要在中国。因此，预防该传染病在医院内传播是当务之急。基于患者安全系统工程倡议模型，从工作任务、技术与工具、工作环境因素和组织条件等方面阐述了在急性三级医院保护医护人员的策略和措施。零职业感染原则仍是一个可实现的目标，面对潜在的大流行，所有医疗系统都需为之努力。
