Standard Operating Procedure for the Disposal of Sharp Objects in Laboratories

All sharps MUST BE collected and disposed in a sharps container, except for non- contaminated lab glassware and pipettes which may be disposed in a laboratory glassware disposal box. Purposes of proper disposal of sharp objects -Prevent personal injury -Prevent contamination of personnel or the enviornment -Ensure proper containment of laboratory and infectious waste during collection, transfer, and disposal

What are sharps? -Needles, syringes, tubing -Blades (scalpels, razors) -Sharp dental wires and appliances -Microscope slides and covers -Glass capillary tubes -Pasteur Pippetes -Laboratory glassware or plastic pipette tips contaminated with an infectious agent -‘Plasticware’ made from plastic polymers which shatter on breakage (culture flasks, petri dishes)

Sharps containers Biohazardous Chemically contaminated Radioactive materials contaminated Labelling requirements Construction requirements -Rigid -Non-breakable and puncture resistant -Impervious to moisture and leak proof -Have a self-closing lid -Red in color with a universal biohazard label

Collection Sharps containers MUST BE: - stored near where the waste is generated and segregated from other waste Sharps containers MUST NOT: - be filled greater than 2/3 full - be discarded in the regular trash - contain free liquids, such as full culture tubes or filled syringes

Disposal Biological Hazards: -Dispose of in a red, infectious waste sharps container marked with a biohazard symbol. -Deactivate any infectious agents usually with 1:10 bleach, prior to placement in the sharps container. Hazardous Chemicals: -Transfer to EHS for disposal as hazardous waste. -Lab glassware can be triple rinsed and disposed as non-contaminated glassware. Radioactive Materials: -Sharps must be placed in a sharps container marked with the radioactive materials label. -When no more than 2/3 full, deface the biohazard and radioactive materials labels and place the closed container in the appropriate dry radioactive waste container. -Transfer to EHS for disposal as dry radioactive waste. Lab glassware may be decontaminated and disposed as non-contaminated glassware if monitoring confirms decontamination was successful.
