Protection of Health and Safety of Health Workers: Checklist for Healthcare Facilities

Details

• Corporate Authors:
  World Health Organization
• Description:
  This checklist is the first step in identifying and prioritizing areas of action for improving the protection of health and safety of health workers in line with WHO-ILO Global Framework for National Occupational Health Programmes for Health Workers. It is designed to be filled out in discussion with management, responsible officers for occupational health, environmental health, infection prevention and control, human resources and representatives of workers in the health facility. This participatory approach will provide a variety of perspectives and a more comprehensive basis for identifying the existing preventive measures, possible problems and solutions for continuous improvement. Using this checklist to begin this process will give you an overview of areas where you can propose to take action and help you determine what to prioritize. These priorities guide you in planning for improvements. [Description provided by NIOSH]
