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 must follow state and federal rules for safe disposal. Requirements vary by state. OSHA bloodborne pathogens standards apply nationwide, and state agencies can assess fines for noncompliance. California generators also follow California Department of Public Health medical waste requirements.
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.
