13 Source: One of the most hazardous places to work U.S. hospitals have recorded 6.8 work-related injuries and illness for every 100 full-time employee in 2011 (almost twice the rate for private industry as a whole)

14 Source: In 2011, U.S. hospitals recorded 58,860 work-related injuries and illnesses that caused employees to miss work. In terms of lost-time rates, it is more hazardous to work in a hospital than in construction or manufacturing.

15 Source: Hospital workers lift, reposition, and transfer patients who have limited mobility. Other unique risks include neddlesticks and violence. Caregivers feel an ethical duty to do no harm to patients. Some will put their own safety and health at risk to help a patient. Employees must react to unpredictable events with split-second decisions.
