Sharps Safety

Sharps safety refers to practices aimed at preventing injuries and contamination from sharp objects, such as needles, syringes, and blades, mainly in healthcare settings. These tools can pose risks of cuts, punctures, and potential exposure to infections. Key measures include using safety-engineered devices, properly disposing of sharps in designated containers, and training staff on safe handling techniques. By following these protocols, healthcare professionals can protect themselves, patients, and the environment from the dangers associated with sharp objects.
