Sharps -laundry

[Liza Alcayaga]

Hi All,

Does anyone know why laundry needs a sharp bin as well? – based on QPS laundry audit.

Thanks

Hi Liza,

Unfortunately at times sharps (needles, razors, ampules etc) are found in soiled laundry. The sharps bin in the laundry  enables at the point, safe disposal – rather than transport to a sharps container else where.

All sharps container requirements would need to be upheld – i.e. height, fixed, plastic material compliant, filling line, container close and removal.

Regards Carrie
