Injury to themselves and others, and the risk of becoming overheated quicker than someone who is not special needs.
The law that requires employers to eliminate or minimize exposure to contaminated sharps is the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act.
Further Explanation
The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act also known as “Needlestick Act” was a law signed on November 6, 2000 that seeks to further reduce the occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens from accidental sharps injuries in healthcare and other occupational settings. The congress thought that a development to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard was necessary to establish in a more specific manner and in greater detail the requirement by OSHA for all employers which is that they need to identify, evaluate and implement safer medical devices. This Act also stipulated additional requirements in areas such as maintaining a sharps injury log and the involvement of non-managerial healthcare workers in evaluating and choosing devices.
Bloodborne Pathogens are microorganisms in human blood or other potentially infectious materials that can cause diseases such as Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and many others. Healthcare workers and other occupations that are exposed to blood are most at risk with these pathogens.
Needlestick Act and Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
The Act directs OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) to modify its Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. On January 18, 2001 OSHA published the revised standard and on April 18, 2001 the revised standard took effect. On July 17, 2001 OSHA enforced the new provisions of the standard such as:
- Requiring employers to maintain a sharps injury log
- To involve non-managerial employees in selecting safer needle devices

I wanted to go to a different school with a special program I was interested in cause I could do hands on learning and artsy stuff, anyways they didn’t like I was trying to ‘leave them’ as they put it. Even though I was trying to do what’s best and find something I could actually learn from cause normal high school just wasn’t the move for me, all in all I changed schools still and am about to grad soon! and they ended up being fake so now I just have about one or two friends that I’m completely happy with cause I’m now less stressed :) if that makes sense, hope this helped
