Sharps waste disposal refers to the safe handling and disposal of items like needles, syringes, lancets, and other sharp objects that are used in medical treatments. These items pose significant health risks due to their potential to cause injuries and transmit infections. Proper disposal of sharps is crucial in preventing needlestick injuries and contamination, both within healthcare facilities and in the broader community. Sharps waste must be collected in specially designed, puncture-resistant containers and treated with the utmost care to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
