Disposing Sharps Safely - A
Necessity
First, let’s know a little about Sharps. Sharps is a collective medical term used for pointing or
sharp objects that can easily cut the skin. They are most primarily use in Hospitals or clinics for
treatment purposes but are nowadays used at home or work or while travelling also for treating
medical conditions of people or pets like allergies, diabetes, arthritis, and many more. It can
harm you or your children or pets if these used objects or sharps are not discarded properly. It is
necessary to use correct practices for these medical sharps disposal. The most common being
needles, syringes, lancets, auto-injectors, etc.
Safe Sharps Disposal – Significance
The used needles and sharps should be disposed of properly, because they are dangerous to
people and pets as they may injure your loved ones and spread infections that can be fatal like,
HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, etc. Safe disposal is important whether you are anywhere, school,
home, work or any other public place.
Losing needles and other sharps in household trash or recycle bins, may put sewage
workers, janitors, housekeepers, children and everyone in reach of it, at risk of
getting injured or harm. Everyone should follow the same procedure of disposing of
sharps that have been used on anyone, be it persons or pets.
Medical Sharps Disposal
The sharps already used should be disposed of immediately using a sharps disposal
container. Many sharps disposal containers are available with pharmacies, health
care providers and online. The containers are FDA cleared and puncture and leak-
resistant with a tight-fitting lid. In case these containers are not available, then you
can use a strong and durable plastic container like laundry detergent container.
Accidentally Hurt by a Used Needle or Sharp?
In case you accidentally get hurt by someone else’s used needle or sharp, you should
wash the area immediately with soap and use a skin antiseptic. Once done, call your
physician or a local hospital for prompt medical assistance.
