The Wellness Center previously had a similar measure (exposure per sworn personnel) but the tasks related to exposure prevention fit better with the Safety section. This measure (exposures per 1000 patient contacts) parallels the EMS exposure measure and is a more commonly used measure than the previous per sworn employee version.
