The issue is work place hazards.Work place hazard is the most common issue which occurs in the ward setting in the most staffs.It is threatening event when it happens in the ward settings like septic ward, isolation ward, during segregation of waste like needle stick injury, contact with bio-hazards articles, mercury and infected blood spillage etc.the work place hazard can be categorized into biological/ infectious,chemical, psychological, environmental and physical .The reviews related to environmental hazards for the nurse as a worker mainly involves infectious diseases,toxic exposures, back injuries, radiation and stress. In summary nurses are subject to expose to environmental hazards through their direct contact with patients, physical and psychological job hazards .Consequently they have intrinsic knowledge about a variety of environmental factors that can be encountered professionally.In 1992, the rate of occupational injury and illness for nurses in health care settings was 18.6% per 100 full time workers(18.2% accounted for injuries).

Evidence based practices which are followed are like use of mercury spillage kits, blood spillage kit and following of protocol measures based on the organization .Reviews that supports this issues are work place hazards faced by The change theory which can be applied for this issue is Health Behavior and workplace Self Protective Behavior Model.The goodness of this theory is it conceptualizes self protective behavior as consisting of four stages : hazard appraisal, decision making, initiation and adherence. With these there are five general constructs identified as being primary or secondary importance at each stage which includes threat related beliefs, response efficacy, self efficacy, facilitating conditions and safety climate.Particular emphasis is also assigned to environmental or situational factors in enabling and reinforcing self protective behavior in the workplace.Thus thereby the issue related to work place hazards can be managed with the adoption of this model in the work.As how the work is necessary and important for the person to lead a life, the safety of the person is also that important so it is the duty of every person to work with precaution and enjoy the best the working environment.
