Needles. Contaminated needles and other contaminated sharps objects will not be bent, recapped, removed, sheared, or purposely broken. Following usage needles or other contaminated sharps objects will be disposed of in a clearly marked biohazardous, sharps container. OSHA allows for one exception to the rule governing the disposal of needles, if the procedure requires that the contaminated needles be recapped or removed and no alternative is feasible, and the action is required by the medical procedure. If such action is required, then the recapping or removal of the needle must be done by the use of a mechanical device or a one handed technique. At this facility recapping or removal is only permitted while assisting one of the Team Physicians in a procedure necessitating this act. Containers for Reusable Sharp Contaminated sharps that are not reusable are to be placed immediately, or as soon as possible after use, into appropriated sharps containers. At this facility, the sharps containers are puncture resistant, labeled with a biohazard label, and are leak proof. The sharps container is located near the sink in the taping area. An individual appointed by the Head Certified Athletic Trainer has the responsibility for disposal of the sharps container when it becomes ¾ full. The container need only be checked as necessitated by its use.
