Histology involves the use of sharp instruments like microtome blades and needles. Best practices include:
1. Proper Disposal: Dispose of sharps in designated, puncture-resistant containers to prevent injuries. 2. Handling Techniques: Always handle sharps with care, using tools like forceps when possible to avoid direct contact. 3. Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain sharps to ensure they are in good condition and safe to use.
