Day: April 18, 2017
We had planned on mowing today, but will have to wait until next week following the torrential rains yesterday.
In the meantime, we will continue with the 2017 painting schedule and painting trim colors on houses that have already received the base color.
The “pen” pictured below was placed into a plastic trash bag yesterday without the needle being capped. I am a diabetic and have used this type of device before; each pen needle comes with a cap. It does not require a lot of effort to cap the needle after use. This used needle is a bio-hazard and must be disposed of properly. This is definitely not “properly”.
We have already had one of our guys stuck by an uncapped needle and he had to undergo a bunch of anti-viral medications to prevent infection. These medications made him ill for weeks. This is a prime example of negligent behavior and violates Health and Safety as detailed in Texas Property Code 209.
I am incredulous that someone would believe it to be OK to toss this into a plastic trash bag. The offending party will be issued a fine.
