When discussing workplace safety, most people think about factory workers, miners, electricians, and other hazardous occupations. The fact is, however, that hospitals and other healthcare facilities are actually one of the most dangerous workplaces around. There are many reasons for this including the fact that these facilities are filled with people with contagious diseases, dangerous instruments, and sometimes unpredictable patients. This is why OSHA puts a lot of resources toward protecting healthcare workers.
