Dealing with Discarded Sharps Sample Clauses

Dealing with Discarded Sharps. If any discarded needles, syringes or any other contaminated sharps are found, the pharmacist on duty must be informed immediately. The following procedure (1.3 - 1.13) is only applicable to removing sharps on the premises. Discarded contaminated sharps found external to the premises (e.g. in the rear garden) should be reported immediately to the local Environmental Health Department. Do not attempt to touch or remove the sharps. Only appropriately trained staff that are fully vaccinated against hepatitis B and understand this procedure should deal with these incidents. Customers and all other staff must be warned not to touch or attempt to move such items and should stay well clear from the affected area. Any cuts or abrasions on the skin must be covered with waterproof and breathable dressing. When dealing with these incidents, appropriate protective disposable gloves, apron and goggles should be worn. The sharps should only be removed with tweezers to a sharps container. The area should then be wiped with an appropriate disinfectant or a solution of bleach. Ensure that the manufacturers’ guidelines are followed when using disinfectant or bleach. Also ensure that the area is well ventilated whilst doing this. It may also be necessary to test the products on a small area of surface to ensure that the floor or work surface is not damaged in any way. Once the area has been adequately cleaned, any swabs or wipes used should be treated as contaminated clinical waste, and disposed of into a sharps container. Personal protective equipment should only be removed at the end of the procedure and must also be disposed of as contaminated clinical waste into a sharps container. After removal of all personal protective equipment the hands should be thoroughly washed with bactericidal soap and water. Finally the incident should be recorded within the pharmacy Accident Book.
