| Publisher Description: Blood-borne infections are a serious concern in many occupations. In addition to health professionals, many of whom collect and handle blood or blood products, a variety of public servants, such as police officers and prison guards, encounter situations in which exposure to blood is a risk. This timely and practical book evaluates the risks and describes techniques for preventing blood-borne infections in a wide range of settings. The authors describe prevention methods as well as methods for detecting and decontaminating potentially infected material. They also cover the officially recommended post-exposure procedures. Their straightforward advice will be equally useful for doctors, nurses, laboratory workers, students in medicine and microbiology, police officers, and a range of social workers. |
