Sharps Management

The use of self-injected medications to treat chronic illnesses such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis has significantly increased in recent years. When managing these conditions outside of the home, patients often seek the privacy of restrooms to discreetly inject their medication. Implementing organizational sharps waste collection programs in restrooms can help to protect the company, its employees, and the community.

Organizations may also generate regulated medical waste when providing employee immunization clinics or other health-related services such as first aid.

Solution: Human Resources and people leaders can support their employees by providing a sharps waste disposal method in the office, rather than allowing employees to use the regular trash. Sharps disposal options are part of Chesapeak Medical Waste Community Solutions, which help our customers protect the its employees, and the community.
