Cómo controlar: biological hazards and sharps
- Use sharps containers and tongs or pick-up tools so nobody has to handle needles or sharps by hand.
- Never recap needles or reach blindly into bins, bags, gaps or crevices where sharps may be hidden.
- Provide hand-washing facilities, and clean up blood and body fluid spills using a spill kit and suitable disinfectant.
- Offer vaccination, such as for hepatitis B, to workers at risk of exposure to blood, body fluids or contaminated waste.
- Have a post-exposure procedure: wash the area, report the incident and get prompt medical assessment after any needlestick injury.
- Wear puncture-resistant gloves and protective clothing when handling waste or material that may be contaminated.
