The sharps containers are for needles and syringes since they could poke through the biohazard bags easily and stick the person changing the bag possibly infecting them with HIV, hepatitis, etc.
A major has 3 sharps, A minor has no sharps or flats.
The Key of Ab does not have any sharps naturally written in it. It has four flats.
A♯ minor has the maximum seven sharps, but A♯ major has 10 'sharps', 4 sharps and three *double* sharps, so B-flat major will be preferable with only two flats.

Some medical waste, such as hypodermic needles and other injection related devices, are considered a biohazard after being used once on a patient. These 'sharps' go into the sharps container.
Yes, this the correct way to handle and dispose of them.
Biohazard bags are used to dispose of non-sharp items contaminated with potentially infectious materials like blood-soaked gauze or gloves. Sharps containers are specifically designed for the disposal of sharp items such as needles, scalpels, or razor blades. Items placed in a biohazard bag should not puncture the bag, while items in a sharps container should be able to safely contain sharp objects.
Anything used to dispose of biohazard is colored red. When it's a container for disposing of needles, it's called a Sharps Container. It is a hard plastic bin with a one-way gated door on top. For dressings and bandages that are blood soaked, they go into a biohazard bag. Both are always red though.

Biohazard containers for needles are referred to as a "sharps container". Whether used or unused, any uncapped needle should be disposed of in the sharps container. A needle might be uncapped but unused-- for example, if the needle was bent or the tip flawed, or the medication was NOT given to the patient for any reason.
To find and deal with sharps, such as needles or other sharp objects, always use gloves and a puncture-proof container. Never touch sharps with bare hands. Dispose of sharps in a designated sharps container to prevent injury and contamination.
A negative stain slide should be disposed of in the biohazard sharps box because it may contain potentially infectious biological materials, such as bacteria or viruses, that can pose a risk to health and safety. The sharps box is specifically designed to safely contain sharp objects and prevent injury or contamination. Proper disposal helps minimize the risk of exposure to pathogens and ensures compliance with biohazard waste management protocols.
Red is the most common color for sharps containers.
Sharps should be discarded in a sharps container that will protect against accidental puncture, not in a bag.
A biohazard waste container or sharps container should be used for lab materials soiled by a blood sample. These containers are specifically designed to safely store and dispose of materials contaminated with potentially infectious substances, such as blood, and prevent accidental needle sticks or exposure to harmful pathogens. It is important to follow proper disposal protocols to minimize the risk of contamination and ensure the safety of lab personnel and others.
Hello, I teach a college-level phlebotomy course and I can answer this question from that perspective, however I'm sure OSHA has much more on the subject. In phlebotomy, biohazard bags are the recepticle for tubes full of real blood (as opposed to the fake blood the students practice with); also any blood-soaked items would go in there. Not just routine band-aids and gauze - it would have to be blood-soaked such as a surgical dressing or something like that. In a real lab, accidental spills and broken tubes occur, so the blood and small bits of broken glass would go in the biohazard bag, which is actually a double bag within a biohazard cardboard box. Sharps containers are another type of biohazard container - they are stiff and impervious to needles and lancet blades, so this is where those types of items are disposed. Needles and lancets never go in just a biohazard bag - they go into a Sharps container first. Some items can go either in regular trash or biohazard depending on the facility's policy - For example, the thermometer probe they stick in your mouth to take your temperature is usually just "regular trash," but some facilities throw it in biohazard. Hope that helps! /Sb
