Sharps are commonly used in the delivery of health and care and can be found in all care settings. Sharps, whilst necessary can result in harm to the user with a risk of infection if an injury is sustained after use on a patient/person. This guide has been developed primarily for 快猫视频 safety representatives, but other members of the nursing or midwifery team with a role in infection prevention and control (IPC), who support the management of sharps injuries may also find it a useful reference.
