It also provides at-a-glance information about some common health and safety issues people working in health care should know — and think about — every day on the job. Within this handbook the term “health care worker” includes anyone who provides care or services related to health care. That includes everyone from medical professionals, management, administrators, support workers and volunteers in both public and private health care-related settings.
