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.
