Funeral Facilities

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Funeral directors and embalmers have close contact with cadavers and body fluids, which leaves them at risk of sharps injuries and bloodborne infections.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text]Sharps injuries can transmit bloodborne viruses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. There is also the risk that a serious sharps cut can damage a tendon or nerve, which can be a career-derailing injury.

Funeral workers run the risk of scalpel injuries and subsequent bloodborne infections if their facility hasn’t implemented effective sharps safety practices.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
