Sharpsmart

Sharpsmart is a clinical safety innovation company founded in 1986 by Dan Daniels, originally out of concern for healthcare workers suffering preventable sharps injuries. The firm provides full-service healthcare waste management and reusable sharps container systems to hospitals and clinical facilities. It is the UK subsidiary of Daniels Corporation and operates in the United Kingdom, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

The company's work spans clinical waste management, sharps safety device engineering, infection control, reusable container design, waste stream segregation and regulatory compliance. Its Reusable Sharps Containers are clinically engineered safety devices intended as an alternative to traditional single-use containers; the company reports they reduce sharps injuries by over 80% compared with single-use equivalents and have been tested to 500 life cycles, roughly 50 years of practical use.

Its full-service offering covers the management and disposal of seven waste streams: sharps, clinical, offensive, cytotoxic, pharmaceutical, anatomical and confidential waste. The stated approach integrates infection control with waste management and emphasises regulatory compliance and sustainability through reusable, long-life container systems.

Employees and candidates joining Sharpsmart work within a mission-driven business focused on worker safety and injury prevention, applying engineering and service operations to healthcare settings across six countries.
