Our People

Daniels Health Canada is proud to represent the local arm of a global leader in healthcare waste management. Since its founding in Australia in 1986, Daniels has expanded into six countries — and in Canada, we deliver scalable, compliant solutions to healthcare facilities of every size. Governed by Canadian provincial and federal regulations, we combine deep local knowledge with global expertise to set new standards in safety, sustainability, and infection risk reduction.

At Daniels Health Canada, we embrace the diversity that defines us and the strength that comes from global collaboration. Together, we bring world-class innovation to the forefront of Canadian healthcare.

In 1986, Dan Daniels was introduced to a reality facing Australian nurses that he felt was too big to ignore: rising needlestick injury counts and the associated risks of HIV contraction. Working with healthcare practitioners, infection control experts, microbiologists and a team of highly skilled engineers, Dan innovated a solution – the Sharpsmart container, which in 38 years is still unrivalled as the safest and only sharps containment system in the world that is classified as a safety-engineered device.

Dan has tirelessly dedicated his life to building a company that would help eradicate needlestick injuries; he has injected into the business and its culture his passion for raising leaders, and he has set his strong personal values as the minimum benchmark to which we all aspire. We are proud of our leader and his unwavering passion to impact lives; the tenure, caliber and values-driven focus of the Daniels Health team is testament to his leadership.
