Abstract
This paper presents current epidemiological data on transmissions of HBV and HCV from infected health care workers to patients. In view of the increasing risk of those transmissions, in many countries, relevant legal regulations have been adopted to limit occupational activity of infected health care workers. In Poland, there is a real risk of such accidents (especially regarding HCV). Therefore, this problem should also be regulated by law in our country.
