Safe Needles Program

The Safe Needles Program is an initiative aimed at reducing injuries and the spread of infections among healthcare workers and patients by ensuring proper handling and disposal of needles. It promotes practices like using safety-engineered needles, disposing of used needles in designated sharps containers, and adhering to safety protocols. The goal is to protect everyone from accidental needle sticks, which can expose them to bloodborne diseases, while maintaining safe medical procedures. By following these guidelines, the program helps create a safer healthcare environment for staff and patients alike.
