- Inbuilt safety mechanisms, including both temporary and permanent locks – see tip #1 following this list
- No risk of force-jamming sharps! A safety tray will prevent hand access
- Wide disposal opening. No more forcing sharps into a small hole!

Tip # 1
Don’t Press those Red Tabs Yet!
The Sharpsmart’s temporary locks are located along the front lip of the container, above the label – the permanent locks are located along the sides and can be activated by pressing the red tabs down to slide the locks in place. Once a container is permanently locked, it can only be opened at a Daniels facility. Only activate permanent locks when the container is full.

Sharpsmart Sharps Container Safety Features
Gravity Balanced Safety Tray
This innovative tray design restricts hand access to the container’s interior, ensuring that sharps are safely released away from the user. The mechanism helps prevent accidental bloodborne pathogen exposure and reduces the risk of needlestick injuries during disposal.
Maximum Strength Hardened Plastic
Constructed from impenetrable ABS plastic, our containers are tested to withstand up to 500 wash cycles. This durability ensures the containers remain secure and intact even under frequent use, providing long-lasting protection.
Gravity Balanced Safety Tray
Safety tray restricts hand-access. Sharps are released away from the user into the collector; removing risk of “bouncing” or rollback of sharps.
Temporary front lock
Temporary locking closure provides safe movement of collectors.
Wide Opening
Large aperture allows for single-handed disposal of sharps; contents protection shield eliminates risk of needlestick injuries.
Eliminates Overfilling
Tray defaults to a FULL locked position when contents reach the maximum fill capacity, eliminating overfilling and associated risks.
No-Leak Seal
Precisely engineered lid seal eliminates leakage of blood or body fluids during transport.
Tamper-proof
Permanent side locks prevent collector from being reopened when full. Eliminates unauthorized access to contents.
Choose the right container.
All Daniels containers are designed for instant waste stream recognition. Our Ivory and Red (with ivory lid) containers are designed for used clinical sharps. The red version is designed without a safety tray and is to be used in non-public areas only. The yellow container is designed for sharps that contain less than 3% of chemotherapy drugs, and the purple container is designed for non-hazardous pharmaceuticals.
