Biohazard Supplies

Consider handling biohazard waste disposal properly with a supply of biohazard containers. They’re made specifically for hazardous materials and sharps to keep potentially dangerous waste from contaminating other areas. Designed for safety and security, these containers come with visual cues to improve safety in your medical office or first aid area in any location. Help improve infection control protocols with biohazard containers.

Safe Storage for Hazardous Materials

Strong plastic construction makes these biohazard containers a safe place to store hazardous materials, such as used nitrile gloves while you are waiting to dispose of them permanently. A closed design keeps the discarded items contained, and they don't leak, helping prevent accidental contamination. This safe storage option for biohazard materials helps control infection spread by blood and bodily fluids by minimizing contact with those fluids. Some containers are designed to hold used sharps safely, making them ideal for medical facilities. The plastic keeps the sharps inside without puncturing through the container to prevent accidental pokes with the used sharps.

Locking Design for Security

You may need a secure container that ensures the contents stay inside, from storage through final disposal. Containers with locking designs help ensure the lids stay in place. You don't have to worry about the container popping open while you transport it to the disposal area when the container is used properly. This safety feature helps prevent accidental spills that can cause contamination. Holes on the top of some sharps containers make it easy to place items inside the container without removing the lid. Translucent lid designs offer additional convenience by letting you see when the container is nearing the fill line.

Clear Markings for Safety

Biohazard containers should be easy to spot and identify to avoid any confusion on their use. Red plastic containers meet safety regulations for the color requirements. The color is easy to spot and is universally known as being used for biohazard materials. Clear labels featuring the biohazard symbol identify the purpose of the containers, so they aren't misused or mistaken for another type of container. Instructions printed onto the labels inform your employees how to properly use the containers to help reduce the risk of accidents or contamination. Maximum fill lines on the labels help prevent overfilling the containers, which can lead to spills or malfunctions.

Versatile Use in Various Office Settings

Biohazard supplies keep various office settings safe by helping to reduce bodily fluid transfers that can cause infection. Medical offices need these containers in patient exam rooms and other areas, because they frequently have disposal items which have come into contact with blood and other bodily fluids. General office settings can also benefit from these biohazard containers to safely dispose of materials after a workplace injury. Having them on-site helps you meet OSHA requirements for safe disposal of regulated waste. Containers that slip easily into wall-mounted racks keep the biohazard materials off the floor and make the containers easily accessible. Consider mounting the container near your first aid stations throughout your place of business.

Supply and Size Options

Different container sizes let you choose an option that meets your needs. High-volume settings, including medical clinics, benefit from buying larger containers to minimize how often you need to change them. Buying the one-use containers helps keep your supply closet stocked up to ensure biohazard disposal protocols are followed.
