Detailed explanation-1: -Never put your fingers into the sharps container. If the needle has tubing attached to it, hold the needle and the tubing when you put it in the sharps container. Sharps containers should be at eye level and within your reach. If a needle is sticking out of the container, do not push it in with your hands.
