Posted By Juliet Fennell Please help, our employees work in and along water courses eg Canals, and may come across needles during their work. I want to put this in to the Safety Statement, and can identify hazards such as Hep B,C HIV & Tetanus - are there many more? In terms of arrangements, are there suitable gloves they could wear and handle fish at the same time? However more to the point what information should be given if someone does receive a needle stick injury, should they try to bring it to a hospital for tests, should they remove it from the skin or leave it sticking out? Any help on this is appreciated. Juliet
