Choose a setting in which ergonomic and biological hazards are present (e.g. hospital, extended care facility, ambulatory clinic). You are an industrial hygienist in charge of establishing a health and safety plan for this facility.

1) Describe the setting, the number of workers, amount of space, whether the place seems organized or not, whether workers are rushed to do their jobs and the atmosphere of the workplace in general.

2) Describe the health hazards associated with ergonomics and bloodborne pathogens in this setting.

3) Outline a control plan that you would implement in this facility to reduce the risk of worker exposure to ergonomic stressors and bloodborne pathogens.
