MPOX Healthcare Worker Risk Assessment Tool
This Mpox Healthcare Risk Assessment Tool is optimised for use with Microsoft Excel version 2509 or later. Some dropdown menus, automated risk categorisation, and embedded guidance features may not function correctly in earlier versions or alternative spreadsheet software. To ensure full functionality and accurate assessment outputs, please use Microsoft Excel version 2509 or newer. If the automated features do not work as intended, users may refer to the Chapter 4 risk assessment matrix, which is aligned with the WHO Healthcare Worker (HCW) exposure assessment tool. This Excel tool integrates both approaches to support consistent and evidence-based risk stratification.
