Hello,
I am currently looking into the risks associated with occupational health
nurses wearing sandals at work. This topic has occured as a result of
discussion with my colleagues in light of current hot temperatures and
lack of air-conditioned facilities.
The main concern that has been raised is the risk of a needle-stick injury
occurring in the foot during vaccination clinics, however I believe that
wearing suitable sandals would be beneficial in enabling comfort in this
current climate.
As I am currently in the process of developing a risk assessment I would
be grateful for your thoughts and views on this subject.
Many thanks
Helen Kay
