Sharps Training | iHASCO

“Sharps” is a medical term used for any item with sharp edges or points capable of puncturing or cutting skin. Sharps are mostly associated with medical settings like hospitals, but many people will use Sharps at home, at work, or whilst travelling to help deal with certain medical conditions – diabetes, for example. Sharps also have an association with crime as they may be used for illegal drug taking or used as a weapon. The term refers to medical equipment like needles, syringes, lancets, and scalpels, which are all capable of cutting or puncturing your skin. This is called a Sharps injury – and Sharps Injuries can be pretty nasty.
