Assess the risks and preventative measures that will keep you safe. It was once thought that HIV was the biggest threat to healthcare workers with hepatitis B second in line, but as of the year 2000, hepatitis C surpassed them both. Radiographers encounter dangers with every patient contact. If you are not prepared for each patient encounter, it can be detrimental to your health, and may cause serious illness and death. Your work environment is fast paced, stressful, and one in which we often take shortcuts to get our work done. In this timely study, you will learn to protect yourself from occupational exposure from TB, Hepatitis, and HIV.
