We are required to have a "sharps container" in the science lab for
broken glass, anything with blood, knife tips (teachers only and usually
without the kids in the room), and anything else. It is a federal
requirement. If you are using knifes etc. you should be able to get none
through your district with out too much hassle (Mention LAWSUITS).
Sincerely,
Kimberly Herbert

My nurse gave me a "sharps" container this year to use if someone cuts
themselves on a scratchboard blade, etc. I use it for all the blades I
throw away now, even if they are not contaminated.
