What guidelines should be followed for sharps disposal?

Anyone dealing with sharps has the responsibility to dispose of them in the safest way that will minimise risk and injury.

1. Sharps should never be tossed into the trash or in the toilet and they should never be recycled with other waste
2. Sharps that retract after use should be disposed of like all other types of sharps
3. Do not bend used needles before disposal and never try to recap a needle, however you can use a needle clipper to snap off the sharp part of a syringe for safer disposal
4. Do not to use other bins besides your sharps disposal bins, including any type of household bin or a container that is no longer used
