This article comments on the legal requirement for evaluating the safety and health hazards faced by workers in health care institutions.

Contents: legal aspects and the requirement to compile a single hazard evaluation document; hazards; complexity of the evaluation; analysis required prior to compiling the single document. Includes an example of a hazard evaluation sheet and brief statistics of occupational accidents and diseases in health care institutions. |
