Sharps Kit, Single Application

The Sharps Kit is intended for the safe management of a sharps related incident, such as a discarded needle or blade found in a clinical, workplace or public setting, where staff need to remove and contain the item without direct hand contact. As a single application kit, it is built around handling one incident at a time, which makes it a practical, low cost item to keep at a reception desk, cleaning cupboard, security office or first aid point rather than relying on a full sized sharps disposal unit for occasional, isolated finds.

Kits of this type typically combine tools for picking up the sharp item together with a container for safe disposal, reducing the risk of an accidental needlestick injury to the person dealing with the find. Facilities that may encounter the occasional stray needle or blade, including offices, schools, retail premises, hospitality venues and healthcare support areas, can benefit from having a Sharps Kit on hand so that any member of staff can respond safely and correctly the moment an incident is discovered, rather than waiting for specialist help to arrive.
