The improper disposal of used sharps can pose a serious safety risk to anyone who comes in contact with them. While this is an occupational health hazard for those in the healthcare and related industries, using the appropriate sharps disposal container can help to eliminate not only the transmission and spread of infectious diseases, such as blood borne viruses, but also threats to the environment and wildlife.
Med-X is serious about the safe disposal of sharps waste. Our sharps disposal containers are compliant with Australian and International Standards and designed to protect the environment.
Our single-use sharps bins can safely dispose of:
Two-thirds full sharps containers should be treated as completely full and replaced.
If you work in healthcare or a related industry, the answer is yes. Sharps generated by healthcare clinics, hospitals, or other medical facilities are considered clinical waste and cannot be disposed of via alternative methods, such as community sharps bins. Free sharps containers provided by your local council’s waste facility are also an inappropriate way to dispose of clinical sharps waste.
Don’t risk exposing your workplace, employees or customers. Book with Med-X today for services specific to your business requirements.
