Do Not Put Sharps in Regular Trash!
Duffield Occupants: The Custodians are reporting a large amount of plastic sharps are being deposited in with regular trash on the second and third floors. Please remember EH&S requires all sharps be placed in proper containment. If a sharp is BIO hazardous, it is to be placed in the approved sharps container. Plastic pipette tips and other non-hazardous sharps are to be deposited in puncture proof containers that can then be placed in regular trash. SHARPS IN THE REGULAR TRASH pose an unwarranted risk to our custodians and will not be tolerated. Please do your part to ensure a safe environment in Duffield Hall for everyone -- handle your sharps properly! Thank you for your cooperation.
