Title: An Evaluation of Post-Incident Management of Police and Prison Service Staff Occupationally Exposed to Blood and/or Body Fluids

Summary: The aim of the evaluation was to describe and evaluate post-incident management services for preventing psychological and physical harm in police and prison staff exposed to blood-borne viruses in the work context. The objectives were:  To ascertain how many police and prison staff notified their Occupational Health (OH) and Health and Safety (H&S) departments about an exposure to blood and/or body fluids over the study period;  To collect data on each incident reported to OH departments in relation to the circumstances and care given by all those involved; and  To evaluate current service provision in relation to post-incident advice and interventions to reduce psychological and physical harm and whether appropriate guidelines were followed.
