By treating the clients with courtesy and establishing mutual respect, the risk of violence or intimidation is very small. Blood-borne infection is the main area of risk. It is estimated that a needle stick injury creates a 1 in 3 chance of hepatitis B infection, a 1 in 30 chance of acquiring hepatitis C and a 1 in 300 chance of acquiring HIV. Vaccination against hepatitis B and strict adherence to a standard operating procedure will minimise the risks. There are as yet no vaccines for hepatitis C or HIV. The risk of having a needle stick injury or coming into contact with contaminated and/or clinical waste is very small if your staff are properly trained to deal with discarded sharps and body fluid spillage.
