In conjunction with World AIDS Day, December 1, and International Sharps Injury Prevention Awareness Month, the International Sharps Injury Prevention Society (ISIPS) announced the winners of the 2006 Sharps Injury Prevention Award.
"We thank those individuals that have made a difference in getting the message of sharps injury prevention to healthcare workers and employers around the globe. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who have provided a healthier climate for healthcare workers and others," said ISIPS President Ron Stoker in a November 28 news release.
