Interdisciplinary differences in needlestick injuries among healthcare professionals in training: Improving situational awareness to prevent high-risk injuries.

We hypothesize such policy will promote a "culture of safety," situational awareness, and incident reporting. PMID: 32116282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
