[MCOH-EH] Needlestick and BBF Surveillance | Losing a Legacy Web-Summit

[Amber Mitchell]

In my 20s, I was the very first OSHA National Bloodborne Pathogens Coordinator for the Agency (likely when I first met you).  I was responsible for compliance assistance for field CSHOs and the regulated public.  It “stuck” and I’m still in this specialized field today.

That was then and today… occupational exposures to blood and body fluids and extreme lack of PPE use are rising to pre-pandemic levels.  Other than Massachusetts Dept of Public Health (MA data only), we at the women-led non-profit International Safety Center are the ONLY organization to collect, analyze, and report summary injury and exposure data with EPINet<https://internationalsafetycenter.org/exposure-reports/> (free globally to use).  The. Only. Ones.

If occupational exposure to bloodborne and infectious disease is your thing.  Please JOIN US and determine together IF surveillance and public reporting even matters anymore – or should we (very tearfully and reluctantly) move on??
