Abstract: | Hepatitis B viral infection is transmitted in adults by transfer of body fluids containing the virus. The outcomes following infection can be significant in terms of both health and employment. It is for these reasons that effective preventative health care is the goal of occupational health practitioners. This evidence-based review of the literature provides a basis upon which practice can be established and highlights some of the issues that may confront practitioners of the future. |
