How to Use a 5L Sharps Container Safely

A 5L sharps container helps contain needles, blades and lancets safely from point of use to collection.

Step 1: Place it correctly

Keep the container close to treatment points, dental chairs, injection areas or tattoo stations.

Step 2: Fill it safely

Place sharps inside immediately after use. Do not recap needles, force items in or overfill past the fill line.

Step 3: Seal and collect

Seal the container when full, store it securely and arrange collection through a medical waste process.
