Sharps Containers
Captions available
The idea
Used sharps go into containers designed for them.
In practice
A sharps container must be closable, puncture-resistant, leakproof on the sides and bottom, and labeled or colored as a biohazard.
Where people slip
Do not let a container overfill, and keep it upright and within easy reach wherever sharps are used.
