Which of the following is not required for sharps safety?

The correct choice indicates that washing all disposable sharps before discarding them is not a required practice for sharps safety. In fact, disposable sharps such as needles and blades are designed for single use, and washing them could expose workers to additional risks of injury or contamination. Proper sharps safety protocols focus on preventing exposure and injury, which include the safe disposal of used sharps in designated, puncture-resistant containers, clearly labeling those containers to inform others about their contents, and utilizing safety-engineered devices designed to minimize the risk of sharps injuries. Thus, the practice of washing disposable sharps does not align with established safety guidelines for sharps management.
