Needlestick and sharp injury prevention
❖ Used needles should be discarded immediately after use and not
recapped, bent, removed from the syringe or tube holder, or
otherwise manipulated.
❖ Any used needles, lancets, or other contaminated sharps should be
placed in a leak-proof, puncture-resistant sharps container that is
either red in color or labeled
with a biohazard label.
❖ Do not overfill sharps containers.
Discard after 2/3 full or
when contents are at the “full”
line indicated on the containers.
