5 Safety Tips for Handling a Medical Sharps Bin
You would be surprised to know that every year,
around 16 billion injections are administered all
over the world. This data was released by the
World Health Organization (WHO). Besides other
serious consequences on health, medical waste
also impacts the environment. With so many
needles in use, the issue of pharmaceutical
waste management becomes a matter of serious
concern. Medical sharps should be collected in
medical bins for disposal. This is important to
ensure that there is no threat of deadly diseases
like hepatitis and HIV/AIDS. Medical sharps bins
come in varying colors such as red, white, yellow
and purple. The purpose of assigning different
colors to these bins is to segregate and manage
the medical waste safely and effectively.
Moreover, the improper disposal of sharps poses a
high risk to medical workers and housekeepers.
