NIOSH has developed the STOP STICKS campaign of community-based information and education to raise awareness about the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C from needlesticks and other sharps-related injuries in the workplace. A campaign user's guide and resources are available at the CDC website.
Campaign materials were developed mainly with operating room and emergency department audiences, but target audiences include clinical and nonclinical health care workers and health care administrators in hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing homes, and home health care agencies. Learn more here.

California OSHA Steps Up Heat Illness Enforcement; OSHA Offers Heat Resources

Cal-OSHA vows continued enforcement efforts, and OSHA has developed a nationwide outreach campaign to raise awareness among workers and employers about the hazards of working outdoors in hot weather. A new section of the OSHA website gives information about heat illnesses and how to prevent them. There are also training tools for employers to use and posters to display at worksites. Many of the new resources target workers with limited reading skills or those who do not speak English as a first language. OSHA will continue to add information and tools to this page throughout the summer.
