The Evolution single sharps and body fluid disposal kit provides combined capability for managing needle stick injuries, discarded sharps, and body fluid contamination in a single deployment. Includes a sharps container alongside full body fluid clean-up provision. Suited to healthcare settings, public facilities, and workplaces where discarded needles or contaminated sharps may be encountered alongside body fluid spills.
Compliance Summary: This kit provides combined sharps disposal and body fluid clean-up under COSHH Regulations 2002. Sharps must be disposed of in the dedicated sharps container and collected by a licensed clinical waste carrier. Body fluid waste is contained separately in the clinical waste bag provided.
When do I need a combined sharps and body fluid kit?
Combined kits are needed where sharps contamination accompanies body fluid spills - such as discarded needles in public toilets, needle stick injuries in healthcare, or incidents involving broken glass contaminated with blood. The sharps bin provides safe containment for the sharp object while the body fluid kit handles the biological contamination.
What should I do if I find a discarded needle?
Do not pick up the needle with your hands. Use the scoop or forceps from the kit to place the needle directly into the sharps bin. Wear the gloves and apron provided. If the needle is accompanied by a body fluid spill, use the absorbent and disinfectant materials to decontaminate the area after the sharp has been safely contained.
