Needlestick injury coverage
A needlestick injury can result in the transmission of a serious bloodborne pathogen.
Employers must ensure they have essential coverage for employees’ treatment costs and lost wages if an injury occurs. Coverage may also protect employers from potential lawsuits.
I’ve heard So say Insureon (https://www.insureon.com/small-business-insurance/workers8-compensation/needlestick-injury-coverage), and I don’t disagree though I must add the psychological harm that is likely even when infection does not arise.
Providing cover for employees and for employers is available from the US insurer Insureon. Not a bad idea really, but providing cover for employees and employers seems a likely conflict of interest.
Notwithstanding, it seems like a good idea. But by the time premiums have been paid, how much money is being spent on injury prevention?
