Safer Design

The Sharpsguard Pharmi 5L Waste Container has been designed to provide a safer method of storing medicinal waste for disposal via the yellow stream. The solid structure features a sliding door with an aperture. This is both convenient and makes it easier to add waste to the container.

The container also includes a blue lid to allow for colour coding. This will provide a visual prompt for eliminating the chance of objects being placed in the incorrect containers. The label on the front of the container will also provide improved safety, with space for writing information including the container’s location, department, and start date.

Larger Capacity
