The article will discuss the potential health risks associated with these hazards, as well as the preventive measures that can be taken to mitigate these risks. Additionally, the impact of occupational hazards on the mental health of healthcare workers will be examined. By raising awareness of these hazards and promoting strategies for their prevention, this review article seeks to contribute to the overall well-being and safety of healthcare workers.
