Chances are, no. One, if you're trained to perform venipuncture, even in an emergency, you're trained to put on gloves beforehand; therefore a preponderance of the responsibility is on you. Two, you were exposed to possible harm, not actual harm. Workman's comp is designed to help support you when you can't work. Being exposed to blood doesn't preclude you coming to work.

Have been exposed to asbestos at work what compensation can you get for it?

Compensation is provided for ill affects (damage, illness), not for simple exposure. Ill affects might follow years after exposure to high enough airborne concentrations of asbestos, but that is not guaranteed. In the US, fear of ill affects that might or might not occur does not usually qualify for compensation.Asbestos fibres can lead to a number of conditions. Two such conditions are: asbestosis - which is a condition which develops over a long period of time from the inhalation of asbestos fibres and is due to scarring of the lungs; and mesothelioma which is a rare type of cancer and can be caused by one asbestos fibre and invariably leads to death. To see how much compensation you can claim for asbestos related industrial diseases in the UK - see the link entitled "asbestos compensation".
