They focus on the major categories of health care worker injury (e.g., needlesticks, back injury, violence and assault, latex allergy, and infectious disease), assessing the genesis of the escalating injury rates in the field, and presenting recommendations for abatement of the problem. Appendices present results of a research project on occupational injury and hospital injury data charts.

The Epidemic of Health Care Worker Injury: An Epidemiology provides an industry-wide analysis that facilitates a wide-angle view of the dangers of working in health care, by focusing on the major categories of health care worker injury.
