SIGN has developed this toolkit for injection safety and related procedures.

The toolkit covers elements of standard precautions relevant to the transmission of bloodborne pathogens through unsafe injection practices in health-care settings. The document will help to increase health workers’ awareness of the importance of standard precautions relevant to injection safety. Its main target is health workers actively engaged in the administration of the various types of injections in all health and related care services, particularly at the peripheral level. However, other people administering injections may find the toolkit useful.

This paper describes the adaptation of a large, simple, low-cost panel cooker to greatly reduce the reliance on conventional heat sources. The hybrid apparatus integrates propane for backup in case the available sunlight is insufficient. In good sunlight, sterilization runs can be completed on solar power alone.
