Tonight at work, I had to open a new box of 3 mL Syringes with Hypodermic Safety Needles.

Now, I thought I was a natural because I had never had any training or read the instructions on how to slide the plastic thingy over the needle after an injection. I instinctively realized the plastic thingy was suppose to slide over the needle in order to avoid needle sticks!

Now I know how to correctly Lock the Safety Needle Shield!
