Used by medical personnel, tattoo businesses, and patients, sharps are consistently present in everyday life. To ensure the safety of those involved in the handling of the sharps, correct and safe disposal is necessary.

We follow all healthcare guidelines, ensuring our quality control and protocols are in line with the current legislation.

Why is Safe Disposal of Sharps Important?

As a business operator or manager overseeing a company, you are responsible for the safety of your staff, patients and clients. Therefore, failure to dispose of sharps correctly will pose a serious risk on the health and safety of those handling the sharps. Contact and/or puncture from these sharps may cause the spreading of pathogenic micro-organisms. To further complicate the matter, should a person come into contact with these harmful pathogens, it may have serious and, in some cases, fatal consequences.

Though the correct disposal is the responsibility of the individual handling the sharp, if there are any offending use of sharps seen, Versatile Cleaning Services will be able to report and notify you. This will help you maintain compliance in your business and ensuring the safety of your staff.

What is the Procedure for Disposing of Sharps?

Use Dedicated Sharps Disposal Containers

Avoid disposing of sharps in regular recycling, garbage or green bins mixed in with other rubbish. Failure to do so will present an incredibly harmful risk to recycling and garbage disposal personnel. Instead, you must obtain an approved dedicated sharps disposal container that is puncture resistant. Ideally, using sharps containers that are compliant with the Australian standard AS 4031 1992. We offer multiple sizes from small to large, fit for any business and purpose. Contact Versatile Cleaning Services today for all available options on ordering sharps containers for your business.

Arrange Sharps Disposal Services

Running a large business or medical site can be difficult when overseeing risk management for all aspects. The Versatile Cleaning Services team are dedicated to helping you with the safe disposal of your sharps. We offer a range of services to suit the needs of your company, allowing you and your staff to focus on the business or taking care of patients. Our trained staff take full responsibility for waste removal and the handling of your sharps.

Document the Procedure

Documenting and tracking the process of your sharps disposal is a legal requirement. We take our reporting seriously, providing documentation on the removal and destruction of all sharps taken from the premises. The entire procedure is governed by the current WH&S procedures. Failure to do so will jeopardise your company and your company’s insurances. Leaving this necessary process to our highly skilled staff will give you ease, knowing that your business is not overstepping any boundaries.
