This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Always dispose of sharps in a designated, puncture-resistant container at the immediate point of use. - The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act mandates the use of engineered safety devices on all needles. - Never recap a contaminated needle; instead, activate its safety feature immediately after the draw is complete. - Sharps containers must be sealed and replaced when they are no more than three-quarters full to prevent overfilling and injury. - Remember the "SAD" mnemonic for post-venipuncture safety: engage the Safety device, Activate it immediately, and Discard the entire unit properly.
