The Premier Safety Institute developed a brochure to educate healthcare and public health and safety workers in any setting across the continuum of care about the serious risks of occupational needlestick injuries and strategies and devices to reduce risks. The settings where needlestick injuries may occur include ambulatory settings, physicians' offices, ambulances, nursing homes, skilled nursing facilities, home health care, assisted living, or hospitals.

Labor Day Message
As the President said today, "On Labor Day, we honor the hard work and dedication of the men and women of our workforce. Their efforts contribute to the prosperity of our great Nation". We at Dynamic Dental Safety would like to echo those sediments and especially thank dental and all other healthcare professionals for their hard work, dedication and compassion to their patients.
