Abstract Background: Healthcare workers are exposed to myriads of occupational health and safety hazards in the course of work. These hazards arise from many sources and include; biological agents, chemical agents, ergonomic, physical and psychosocial factors in the health facilities. The impact of poor occupational health and safety is felt not just by affected healthcare workers, but also by the patients receiving care in their facilities. The main determinants of occupational health and safety studied include; safety management, safety training, hazards and controls.
