TYPES
Sharps Waste and Examples of Sharps Waste
Sharps waste is any contaminated medical device capable of piercing the skin and transmitting infectious disease. Sharps waste must be placed into a rigid, puncture proof, labeled sharps container for proper disposal.
Needles
Syringes
Files
Lancets
Broken glass that is contaminated
Sharps Disposal Containers
All used sharps should immediately be placed into a sharps disposal container. Sharps containers are rigid, leak proof containers to ensure safe sharps disposal.
Sharps containers have a 3/4ths fill line and should be sealed once this line is met. Once the sharps container is sealed, it can be placed inside of your biohazard bin alongside other biohazard wastes.
Risks involved with Sharps Waste
Injury
Bloodborne pathogens are commonly spread through needlestick injuries. With 385,000 reported sharps injuries yearly among healthcare facilities in the United States, it is important to follow all of the necessary regulations to protect your employees from Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and other infectious diseases.
Regulations
Sharps and other medical waste require following state and federal regulations for safe disposal. The California Department of Public Health and OSHA can give out hefty fines for lack of compliance.
Costs
Needlestick injuries and lack of compliance can result in serious financial burden for hospitals. Needlestick injuries and OSHA violations are not cheap - with some OSHA bloodborne pathogens violations exceeding $300,000.
