EN: The Framework Agreement (hereinafter ‘the Agreement’) aims to protect workers at risk of injury from all medical ‘sharps’ (including needle-sticks) and to prevent the risk of injuries and infections caused by medical sharps. It provides for an integrated approach to risk assessment, risk prevention, training, information, awareness-raising and monitoring and for response and follow-up procedures. The Agreement and this proposal will contribute to achieving the safest possible working environment in the hospital and healthcare sector.
LV: Pamatnolīguma (turpmāk „nolīgums”) mērķis ir aizsargāt darbiniekus, kuri var savainoties ar jebkuriem medicīnā izmantotiem asiem instrumentiem (tostarp injekciju adatām), un novērst asu medicīnisko instrumentu radīto ievainojumu un infekciju risku. Tas paredz integrētu pieeju riska novērtēšanai, riska novēršanai, apmācībai, informācijai, izpratnes veidošanai un pārraudzībai, kā arī reaģēšanai un turpmākajai rīcībai. Nolīgums un šis priekšlikums palīdzēs panākt pēc iespējas drošāku darba vidi slimnīcās un veselības aprūpē.
