- **NEVER** hand your sharps to anyone else.
- **NEVER** let others hand their sharps to you including physicians.
- **ALWAYS** engage safety device after an injection.
- **DO NOT** use your body parts to engage the safety device after an injection! **ALWAYS** use a surface that is **AWAY** from you and the patient instead (e.g., instead of using your other hand to engage the safety, use the tabletop instead).
- Place sharps into the sharp container **IMMEDIATELY** after an injection instead of leaving the sharp on the patient’s bed or the bedside table.
- **NEVER** take your eyes **OFF** of the sharp.
- Make sure the sharp **ACTUALLY** goes **INSIDE** of the sharp container.
- **NEVER** attempt to recap a contaminated needle after an injection. Instead, toss the sharp into the sharp container **IMMEDIATELY** after use.

Thank you!
