Sharps Waste Disposal

Sharps waste can include a variety of instruments. Things like used syringes, operating knives and blades, glass, and generally any tool used to puncture is controlled under similar regulations to traditional medical waste. Sharps waste disposal is particularly at risk of containing and transmitting blood-borne pathogens.

Sharps waste is classified as a biohazard, and it must be dealt with accordingly. When uncontrolled, the disposal of sharps waste puts medical professionals and the public at risk of contracting serious diseases such as Hepatitis and HIV.

The goal of sharps waste disposal is to minimize handling from the moment the waste is created. Strict government protocol encourages as little handling as possible by medical staff as well as self-locking, sealable containers made of plastic or other impermeable material. Once disposed of, sharps waste is handled carefully at a facility designed to efficiently and completely destroy any blood-borne pathogens as well as recycle materials when possible.
