Healthcare-Related Injuries

• Infections and Disease: Nurses, technicians, and other healthcare workers can contract serious illnesses and diseases by coming into contact with sick patients or from being accidentally exposed to contaminated needles. 
  
  
• Musculoskeletal Injuries: Hospital workers are at risk of suffering injuries to their backs, necks, legs, and other parts of the body, especially when they’re required to frequently lift, turn, and move patients in and out of beds and wheelchairs.
