針扎預防的核心在於使用安全設計針具。使用後應立即啟動安全鎖定裝置（Safety mechanism），並將針具丟棄於專用的銳利物容器中。禁止回套針蓋（Recapping）或折彎針頭，以降低意外刺傷風險。
The most effective way to prevent needlestick injuries is to activate the device's built-in safety mechanism immediately after use, which minimizes exposure to the sharp point. Nurses should never recap or bend needles, as these actions significantly increase the risk of accidental puncture.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國 OSHA 法規對於安全針具的使用有嚴格法律規範；台灣醫院亦全面推動安全針具，但臨床執行力與意識仍持續加強中。
