Abstract

BACKGROUND

Occupational health and safety in the health sector relates to the safety, health, and welfare, of the various cadres of health care workers, in their workplace. It is, therefore, important to identify and reduce hazardous exposures in the hospital environment as it influences both the health of nurses and also affects the care of the patients. We sought to determine the occupational safety and health status of nurses in Kapkatet sub-county hospital in Kericho County, Kenya.
