"Sharps" refers to medical waste that can puncture or cut skin, posing a risk of infection or injury. This category includes items like needles, syringes, scalpel blades, and broken glass. Proper disposal of sharps is crucial to prevent accidents and protect public health. To manage sharps safely, healthcare facilities use specialized containers designed to be puncture-resistant and leak-proof. These containers are often labeled with a biohazard symbol and are disposed of through regulated waste management systems. This ensures that sharps are handled safely and do not pose a threat to healthcare workers, patients, or the environment.
