What action should you take if you get a sharps injury?

If you sustain a sharps injury, immediately wash the wound with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection. Apply an antiseptic and cover the injury with a clean bandage. Seek medical attention promptly, especially if the sharp object was contaminated or if you are unsure of your vaccination status for tetanus or hepatitis B. Additionally, report the incident to your supervisor or appropriate personnel as per workplace protocols.
