SHARP CONTAINER

A sharp container is a specialized container designed for the safe disposal of items with sharp edges or points, such as needles, syringes, broken glass, or other medical waste. These containers are typically made of puncture-resistant plastic or heavy-duty materials to prevent accidental injuries or contamination. Sharp containers are commonly used in healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and laboratories, to protect staff, patients, and the public from harm. They are usually brightly coloured, often red, with a clear, visible labelling to indicate their purpose and ensure proper disposal of hazardous items. Many sharp containers feature a secure, tamper-proof lid to safely contain the waste and reduce the risk of spills or accidents.
