SOP · SOP-60185

  • Version 3

The Sharps and Needle Stick Injury Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) helps businesses put safe practices in place for handling sharps. It sets out the steps to prevent injuries and manage the risks of sharps and needle stick incidents.

It covers the hazards (Hepatitis B and C, HIV and bacterial infection), the PPE to wear, precautions and operator training, the steps for handling sharps, sharps disposal, hypodermic needles and the emergency response to a penetrating injury.

A training and induction register records staff training and competency in handling sharps safely.
