Sažetak
An accidental needlestick is a very likely incident at a workplace in the health system but also an accident that can be very dangerous regarding serious consequences that it can have regarding worker's health. The authors study statistical data on the frequency of such incidents, analyze the possible consequences for the health of workers, define the protocols used to prevent harmful consequences, stress up the obligations of workers in the event of an incident, and the obliged actions of the employers. Surveying of the statistically most vulnerable group of health workers, it is shown to what extent the workers are familiar with the procedures in the event of an incident, whether they were previously exposed to it and whether they acted according to the provided protocols in such a case. Finally, the paper analyses the possibility of liability for the employer's damage, especially regarding actions that the injured worker is obliged to take.
