Who must keep a sharps injury log? Does it have to be confidential?
If your practice has 10 or more employees, you must maintain a sharps injury log for recording injuries from contaminated sharps. The Sharps Log must detail the injury, the type and brand of device involved in the injury (if known), the department or work area where the exposure occurred, and an explanation of how the incident occurred. The log must protect the confidentiality of the injured employee.
