Research Aim: Health workers are at the front line of any outbreak response and, as such, are exposed to hazards that put them at risk of infection with an outbreak pathogen (in this case, COVID-19). Hazards include pathogen exposure, long working hours, psychological distress, fatigue, occupational burnout, stigma, and physical and psychological violence. This research will highlight the rights and responsibilities of health workers, including specific measures needed to protect occupational safety and health.
