Working around any mode of transportation poses a risk for injury, but one that often goes unsuspected is a needlestick injury.

In transportation-related fields, hand protection is needed to mitigate serious injury from a needlestick and other sharp objects while completing tasks such as: airport bag searches, roadside cleanup, rest area maintenance, security needs, public transit upkeep, and more.

A needlestick injury poses an elevated danger due to the risk of infection from bloodborne pathogens (diseases), such as hepatitis B and C, and HIV, which can be extremely detrimental to your health.
