防止針扎傷害的核心原則是「不要回套（No recapping）」。使用後的針頭應立即丟棄在專用的利器盒內，且利器盒須放置於醫療人員易於觸及但安全的位置。任何回套、折斷針頭的行為都會大幅增加針扎感染風險。
The core principle for preventing needlestick injuries is "no recapping." Used needles should be discarded immediately into a dedicated puncture-resistant sharps container, which should be placed in a location that is accessible to healthcare personnel yet safe. Any recapping or bending of needles significantly increases the risk of needlestick injury and infection.
