Home healthcare workers can be vulnerable as they face an unprotected and
unpredictable environment each time they enter a client's community and home.
New guidance documents - published by the Us-American National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) - are to increase worker and employer
awareness of the risk factors and to provide strategies for reducing exposure
to these factors.

The guidance documents include:

• How to Prevent Violence on the Job


• How to Prevent Latex Allergies


• How to Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders


• How to Prevent Exposure in Unsafe Conditions


• How to Prevent Car Accidents


• How to Prevent Needlestick and Sharps Injuries
