We need to prevent needle related accidents urgently.

According to master's degree thesis regarding the needle piercing accidents of the hospital staffs, 96% experienced needle accidents and 51% had piercing accidents more than 3 times. This article showed that these accidents arose frequently when they tried to recap the needles after use. Therefore we need a measure to process injection needles right after use.
