Sharps Disposal

Priority Hygiene offers a fully managed sharps disposal service with free installation.

Sharps are defined as discarded objects or devices capable of cutting or penetrating the skin (e.g. hypodermic needles, Pasteur pipettes, contaminated broken glass, diabetic needle disposal units, razors and scalpel blades. Various hard plastic items, such as broken plastic pipettes, are also classified as sharps).

All sharps have the potential to cause injury through cuts or puncture wounds. In addition, many sharps are contaminated with blood or body fluids, microbiological materials, toxic chemicals or radioactive substances, posing a risk of infection or illness if they penetrate the skin. It is therefore essential to follow safe procedures when using and disposing of sharps.

When dealing with the hazards of used injecting equipment, it is essential that safety is not compromised in any way.
