Many studies have been done about the incidence rate of occupational exposure in the world. Unfortunately, none was found by the researchers about incidence rates of these exposures in the Philippines. The purpose of this study is to provide empirical data to be used by hospital administrators as interest during splashes exposure incidents and also for the college school administrators of the affiliating schools from the hospitals to provide appropriate prophylactic management for the students prior to clinical exposure and during splashes exposure incidents given that healthcare- the questionnaire as the tool for the gathering the data needed for the study. This calculate the incidence rates of occupational exposure of the selected hospitals in Iligan City and to identify groups of health workers at high risk of sustaining maximum number of such exposures, place of prevalent occurrence, frequent cause of exposure to, the body part involved in the exposure as well as the common infectious disease the health workers are exposed to and to determine if the incident was reported and to find out whether appropriate actions were given after the exposure or post prophylaxis management was made with exposure to the infectious disease.

It was found that the nurses among the group of respondents sustained the greatest incidence of exposure, the urine and blood are the body substances of which the health workers have been exposed the most, the most frequent cause of exposure is due to handling/transferring of specimens especially body fluids between containers, most common place of exposure occurrence are the emergency room, operating room and delivery room, the part that sustained the greatest number of exposure is the right palm and that there鈥檚 significant percent that there鈥檚 a paucity in standard reporting protocol and rarity in starting in starting of prophylactic treatment after exposure. It was also determined that there are differences between the practices of the health workers of different hospitals. There were also differences identified on the facilities provided in each workplace that may or may not aid in the reduction of these incident rates. Recommendations are made to avoid the growth of these incidences in the different hospitals.
