According to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, a contaminated sharps container should be

  1. Transparent and sealable

  2. Puncture resistant and closable

  3. Biodegradable

  4. Made of cardboard

The correct answer is: Puncture resistant and closable

The other options, A, C, and D, are incorrect because they do not fulfill the requirements set by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. A sharps container should not be transparent as it can put workers at risk of coming into contact with sharp objects and potentially contaminated materials. Additionally, it should not be biodegradable as it can pose a hazard if it accidentally breaks during disposal. Cardboard is also not an appropriate material as it is not puncture resistant and may not be able to properly contain sharp objects. Therefore, B is the correct answer as it meets the OSHA standard by being puncture resistant and closable, ensuring the safety of healthcare workers and preventing the spread of bloodborne pathogens.
