Secure sharps disposal significantly reduces the risk of accidental needle-stick injuries caused by loose or improperly handled needles and sharps.

Protects staff and waste handlers

Correct sharps disposal protects employees, patients and waste operatives from injury and infection during handling, storage and transportation.
