The containers are pre-assembled and thus need considerably more storage space than single use containers. Where will they be stored on the wards?

Safety Engineered containers on the wards will not take up any more space than is already taken up by single-use containers due to the increased capacity and efficient design. The comparisons should be performed on volume requirements not individual bin numbers. Sharpsmart will perform a thorough needs analysis prior to rollout and will provide full support during and after implementation to ensure storage is optimised. The amount of stock required on site will depend on the frequency of Sharpsmart deliveries and collections, which is contingent on each customer’s individual requirements.
