Giải thích
Contaminated sharps go directly into a closable, puncture-resistant, leakproof sharps container labeled with the biohazard symbol, and containers are replaced routinely rather than overfilled. Two-handed recapping is prohibited because it is a leading cause of needlesticks. Breaking or bending needles and using ordinary trash or cardboard creates a serious puncture and exposure hazard.
