The following aspects of sharps safety are important and must be remembered and followed at all times:

  • If you use a sharp, you must dispose of it. This responsibility is personal and cannot be delegated
  • Never re-sheath needles
  • Never over fill sharps boxes (beyond three quarters full)
  • Ensure you always wear appropriate PPE when using or handling sharps
