The Protection from Waste Needles and Syringes Procedure is a set of guidelines and practices designed to protect workers and other individuals from the risks associated with the handling, disposal, and accidental injury from waste needles and syringes. Improper disposal or handling of these items can lead to sharps injuries, which can transmit bloodborne diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. This procedure aims to minimise the risks of exposure to these injuries through proper handling, disposal, and awareness.
