Introduction. Occupational infection risks, particularly accidental exposure to blood (AEB), are monitored in healthcare facilities in France, but few studies have assessed these risks in outpatient medical settings. Materials and Methods. A descriptive cross-sectional survey of private practitioners, including general practitioners and specialists, practicing in the northern sector of Paris. Data were collected from November 2010 to March 2011 using self-administered questionnaires exploring BES, the disposal of healthcare waste posing an infection risk (Dasri), and vaccination coverage. Results. 147 physicians participated: 69 general practitioners and 78 specialists. Among them, 89% performed invasive procedures. Standard precautions were not consistently followed. During their professional practice, 33% of physicians had experienced a needlestick injury, and 8.2% had done so in the past year. Only 24% of needlestick injuries were reported, and 33% of physicians had taken out supplemental workers’ compensation and occupational disease insurance (AT-MP). The reported sorting of sharps waste was better adhered to in the office than during home visits. The reported vaccination coverage rate exceeded 85% for mandatory vaccines. Conclusion. The management of sharps waste by private practitioners and their vaccination coverage was satisfactory, but the management of needlestick injuries could be improved. (R.A)
