Hazards of the Health Care Sector: Looking Beyond Infectious Disease	2014-11-25		.txt	text/plain	2949	156	47	BACKGROUND: Possessing every hazard class, the health care sector poses significant health threats to its workforce in both high-resource settings and lowand middle-income countries (LMICs). 5 Although preventing exposure to infectious agents and musculoskeletal injuries resulting from patient lifting have been the primary focus of employee safety programs, the chemical hazards in health care have been more slowly recognized. 10 Bloodborne pathogens, which include viruses capable of causing hepatitis or HIV infections continue to threaten health workers in both high-resource areas and in LMICs. 17 In developing countries, 40% to 65% of hepatitis B (HBV) and C virus (HCV) infections in health care workers were attributed to percutaneous occupational exposure. 29 The basic occupational health approach to minimizing exposure to any workplace hazard uses a combination of protective industrial hygiene control methods that are applied in a specified order or hierarchy.	./cache/cord-313729-mydyc68y.txt	./txt/cord-313729-mydyc68y.txt
