In 56% of infectious waste bags, sharp object were found. More risky bags of infectious waste were produced by family practices (64%), but with no significant differences in relation to dental practices (48%), (P=0.143). Disposing of infectious into municipal waste was the case in 90% of the practitioners, where in 60% of municipal waste bags, infectious waste was disposed. Dental practices produced more risky bags of municipal waste (76%) in relation to family practices (44%), but with no significant difference (P=0.714).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_sjph-2018-0009_s_009_w2aab3b7b3b1b6b1aab1c18b4Aa\">\n                    <jats:title id=\"d64471e269_w2aab3b7b3b1b6b1aab1c18b4aAa\">Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of this research point to importance of performing audits of proper disposal of sharps and infectious waste to reduce the risks of injury to non-healthcare workers who come into contact with the said waste.
