HSE sponsors a variety
of instructor-led and online training course options and dates.
Incident-free is the way to be, but let's face
it, stuff happens. So, don't press your luck and get stuck by improperly
handling sharps in the lab or clinical setting. It is imperative that
all members of the Johns Hopkins Institutions (faculty, staff, students,
and visitors) adhere to the appropriate Guidelines for safe handling
of Sharps. Sharps are any material that can puncture or cut
human skin (such as syringes with needles, needles alone, small glass
objects, Pasteur pipettes, and razor blades). ALL sharps must be discarded
into an approved sharps container. Needles and other sharps are never
to be discarded directly into a red bag, red bag-lined biohazard box,
or into other waste streams. All needles and sharps must be discarded directly
into approved sharps containers. Containers for the disposal of sharps
shall be limited to those approved by the Joint Committee for Health,
Safety, and Environment. All sharps containers must be appropriately
sealed prior to disposal to prevent spillage.
Guidelines for the
safe handling of sharps:
