A practical toolkit to reduce needlestick injuries at your facility
Needlestick injuries remain a persistent and underreported risk across healthcare settings, exposing clinicians and staff to serious bloodborne pathogens while undermining safety culture.
About 385,000 needlestick and sharps-related injuries occur each year in the U.S., according to the CDC. Despite longstanding regulations and federal guidance, many organizations continue to struggle with prevention, reporting and compliance.
This toolkit outlines practical, evidence-based steps healthcare leaders can take to reduce needlestick injuries across clinical workflows. It explores how updated safety regulations, safety-engineered devices and targeted training programs work together to mitigate risk, support clinicians and strengthen organizational safety programs.
Designed for both clinical and supply chain leaders, the resource focuses on realistic actions hospitals and health systems can implement today without disrupting care delivery.
Key takeaways include:
