Handling and Disposing of Sharps

These policies have been adapted from the EH&S website. For complete unabridged guidelines and much more, please visit their website at www.ehs.berkeley.edu.

These procedures are critical to protect laboratory users and waste handlers from illness and injury and to comply with local, state, and federal regulations.

Improper management of sharps can result in both civil and criminal penalties for the individuals directly responsible and for the campus.
