SHARPS AWARENESS eLEARNING
This course is for you if you are working in an industry where you could be exposed to sharps.

A “sharp” is anything that can puncture, cut or lacerate the skin. For example, a hypodermic needle, a utility knife or broken glass. All sharps have the potential to cause injury through cuts or puncture wounds. In addition, many sharps can be contaminated with blood or bodily fluids, posing a serious risk of spreading infection or blood-borne diseases like HIV or Hepatitis.
In light of these serious risks, the Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013 requires that employers ensure the risk of injury and infection by sharps is minimised. This Sharps Awareness course will teach employees the best practices for the safe and responsible use and disposal of sharps. On completion, employers will be legally compliant with the Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013.
