What that mean needle stick precautions?

Needle stick precautions refer to safety measures designed to prevent injuries from needles and other sharp objects in healthcare settings. These precautions include using safety-engineered devices, proper disposal of sharps in designated containers, and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, healthcare workers are trained to handle needles safely and to follow protocols for reporting and managing any accidental needle sticks to minimize the risk of infection or transmission of bloodborne pathogens.
