What are the Risks Associated with Sharps in Histology?
The primary risks associated with sharps in histology include:
- Injuries: Accidental cuts, punctures, or abrasions can occur, leading to bleeding and potential infection. - Exposure to Hazardous Substances: Sharps can be contaminated with biological or chemical agents, posing a risk of infection or chemical exposure. - Cross-Contamination: Improper handling of sharps can lead to contamination of samples and compromise the integrity of the research or diagnostic results.
