Safety Instructions
Used sharps should always be handled with caution to prevent injury or exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Never recap, bend, or break needles after use. Place sharps directly into an approved sharps container immediately after use.
When a sharps container is approximately three-quarters full, it should be securely closed and taken to an approved disposal location. Do not attempt to overfill containers.
If a needle-stick injury occurs, wash the area immediately with soap and water and seek medical guidance as appropriate. Do not attempt to squeeze or aggressively clean the wound.
Why It Matters
Proper sharps disposal helps prevent injuries, protects sanitation workers and the public, and reduces environmental contamination.
