Yes, there are ways to minimize legal liability when disposing medical waste. First, ensure that your medical waste is segregated and sealed correctly according to local regulations. Also, make sure that the contents of the waste container do not exceed 50% of its volume. Secondly, properly store all waste containers in a secure area until pickup or delivery by an authorized medical waste contractor. Finally, maintain detailed records about how much and what type of medical waste your clinic produces in order to be able to demonstrate compliance with regulations and standards if necessary.

Majority of states require medical facilities to follow specific laws and regulations when it comes to disposing medical waste. Generally, it is the responsibility of the facility or its disposal contractor to ensure that the waste is properly handled and stored in accordance with local rules and regulations. To avoid any legal liabilities it is advised for your clinic to hire a professional medical waste disposal service which can provide evidence of compliance with state rules and regulations. By having a professional third-party take care of the proper disposal of this waste, your clinic will be well protected against any potential legal issues.
