A radical (barbaric) way might be to immediately tourniquet the finger, anesthetize, and cut off the tip! They could hang a little guillotine next to the eye-wash station....

I mean… probably, but you’d need a bigger guillotine. And now having a hand sized guillotine in the lab is a bigger safety hazard.
Come on now, it's not like it would be a giant curved blade hanging freely from the ceiling into middle of the room.
"A 5-minute soak in a 40% solution of household bleach decontaminated stainless steel wires coated with chronic wasting disease (CWD) prions, according to a new study by National Institutes of Health scientists."
Although it notes: "Notably, the study failed to find an effective method to decontaminate CWD-infected solid tissue. Pieces of CWD-infected brain retained prion activity even after a 30-minute soak in 100% bleach. Investigators note that bleach fails to penetrate tissues and should be used only as a surface decontaminant."
