What materials can be used to effectively clean up and dispose of medical waste, such as syringes, needles and other potentially hazardous materials?
user
Medical waste can be collected in sharps containers, which are heavy-duty bags or cylindrical containers designed to safely store and dispose of materials such as needles, scalpels, and syringes. Once full, these containers should be sealed and taken to an authorized facility for burning, incineration or autoclaving. Sharps disposal containers should never be thrown away or placed in a trash can as this poses a risk for injury due to improper disposal of medical waste. Additionally, items like gloves and surgical wraps can be disposed of in the trash as long as they are wrapped first so as not to contact any other surfaces.

Materials that can be used to cleanup and dispose of medical waste, such as syringes, needles and other potentially hazardous materials, include puncture-resistant gloves, eye protection, an approved single-use face shield or goggles, an approved bodysuit and/or gown (if contact with the patients bodily fluids is likely), thick garbage bags or a sharps container for disposal.
#9)What are the safety implications of exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD)? 
Exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may result in injury or death from shock or flash burns. In addition ESD can lead to debris being thrown by static electricity and ruin sensitive electronic components and explosives. It’s important for personnel who may be exposed to ESD to wear flame-resistant coveralls, insulating non‐conductive shoes/boots and metal shielding garments.  Additional protective measures include grounding devices on tools that generate high voltage spikes.
