peer agreement (net): +1sharps and piercing objects Explanation: Hola María, Una opción. Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^) Ejemplo: "...State and local laws regulate disposal of ****sharps and piercing objects**** to protect waste handlers from both physical and contamination hazards. How these objects should be disposed of — whether by Environment, Health & Safety, by the biohazard disposal firm UCSD contracts with, or in the regular trash — is determined by contaminant(s). Follow these guidelines for proper sharps disposal. ..." http://blink-prod.ucsd.edu/Blink/External/Topics/How_To/0,12... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2005-08-10 20:44:57 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Otro ejemplo: \"...It\'s important to dispose of \"sharps\" appropriately. ****Sharps include needles, syringes, scalpels, lancets, contaminated plastic or glassware, and anything with human blood on it.**** This protects everyone who might come into contact with your garbage from the risk of injury or infection--including garbage handlers, family members, or neighbors. Never throw any sharp directly into the trash. Every community has its own way of handling sharps. Some have special laws and rules for their disposal. To learn about the sharps disposal program in your community, call your local health department or solid waste utility. You should use a special container when disposing of sharps. It should be made of puncture-proof plastic and specially designed to hold used needles and syringes. Once the container is full, you should take it to a local hospital or health department clinic for proper disposal. Never throw the container in the garbage. Rules for safely using a sharps container: Don\'t cut or break needles. If you must break needles, use a device called \"safe-clips\" to safely do so. Don\'t recap needles. Drop used lancets and syringes with the needle pointing downward into the container. Keep sharps containers out of reach of children and pets. Don\'t fill the container more than three-quarters full. When the container\'s three-quarters full, tightly seal the lid with heavy tape. Don\'t put sharps containers into plastic recycling bins.
