LV: Pamatnolīguma (turpmāk „nolīgums”) mērķis ir aizsargāt darbiniekus, kuri var savainoties ar jebkuriem medicīnā izmantotiem asiem instrumentiem (tostarp injekciju adatām), un novērst asu medicīnisko instrumentu radīto ievainojumu un infekciju risku. Tas paredz integrētu pieeju riska novērtēšanai, riska novēršanai, apmācībai, informācijai, izpratnes veidošanai un pārraudzībai, kā arī reaģēšanai un turpmākajai rīcībai. Nolīgums un šis priekšlikums palīdzēs panākt pēc iespējas drošāku darba vidi slimnīcās un veselības aprūpē.
