I agree, the needle stick should be disposed of in the sharps puncture proof container. I believe this is one of the most dangers safety hazards in the office if the needle is not disposed in the proper container. If this was just discarded in the trash can, someone could be taken out the trash and could become contained with the used needle. Any accidents such as this one should be let the proper manager know and should be reported. If any safety hazards occur you should be examined at by a provider no matter how big or small or insignificant it may seem.
