Federal public-health guidance · Government / policy
The CDC guidance that turns sharps safety from a warning into a prevention system.
This exhibit preserves CDC guidance on preventing occupational sharps injuries in healthcare settings. It anchors the Puncture record in a federal prevention framework while keeping the source’s scope clear: guidance for evaluating and reducing exposure, not a complete annual surveillance dataset for every setting.
What this exhibit supports

Limits of the record

Reading note
