We would like for you to participate by responding to two questionnaires. One will be collected today. A second one will be collected in about 2 months. The questionnaires ask about occupational health and safety at [insert facility name]. They also ask questions about you and your attitudes and behaviors, particularly about protection from bloodborne pathogen exposures at work. Your participation is voluntary. Refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits. Participation will take about 20 minutes of your time for each questionnaire. The success of the study depends upon as many people as possible completely filling out both questionnaires, but you are free to withdraw from participating at your will, and there will be no repercussions to withdrawing or refusing to participate. Confidentiality: Your confidentiality will be protected. Therefore, no identifying information will be given that will allow your employer to know what information you specifically share on either questionnaire. Risks: Every precaution will be taken to ensure that you do not suffer any risk including loss of privacy and/or physical harm. Results of these questionnaires will be made available only at the group level (at least three people with the same characteristics in each group). There are no records that connect the five-digit number or letter sequence you selected with your name. Individual results will not be released. Questionnaire forms will be destroyed after they are analyzed. Benefits: Your participation in this effort will provide you an opportunity to share your feelings, thoughts, and concerns, regarding safety in your workplace. The information learned through this evaluation will also assist other health care organizations with sharps injury prevention efforts.
