- London British medical association 1990
- 64p.
Examines ways in which sharp objects should be handled and disposed to avoid injuries and possible infection. Situations in which the injuries may arise are examined and suggestions provided on how they can be avoided.

Another suggestion is the incorporation of policies in the performance of certain tasks and handling injuries.
