- BBend the needle before disposal丟棄前彎折針頭
- CRecap the needle using the two-hand method使用雙手法回蓋針頭
- DAsk a colleague to hold the sharps container請同事幫忙拿著銳器容器

預防針扎最有效的策略是減少針頭暴露時間。注射後不應嘗試回蓋針頭，應直接將針頭與針筒投入堅固的銳器盒（Sharps container）。彎折針頭或用雙手回蓋皆大幅增加意外扎傷的風險，違反職業安全原則。
The most effective strategy for preventing needle-stick injuries is to minimize the time the needle is exposed. After injection, the needle should not be recapped; both the needle and syringe should be placed directly into a rigid sharps container. Bending the needle or recapping using two hands greatly increases the risk of accidental injury and violates occupational safety principles.
