My medical practice generates a lot of medical waste, how do I handle medical waste safely and legally?
user
Having a medical practice with waste generation comes along with a responsibility for safe disposal. Medical waste should be collected in sealed containers and only taken to approved medical waste dumping sites. The container should always be clearly marked as containing biohazardous material. In addition, practitioners should ensure that their staff is trained on proper handling and disposal of the same to reduce cross contamination risks and protect everyone from potential exposure to hazardous materials

Medical waste should always be handled and disposed of safely to avoid any risk of infection or contamination. Hazardous medical waste, including sharps, biowaste and pharmaceutical waste, must be placed in specifically-coloured and clearly-labelled containers which are specially designed for that purpose. These containers should then be taken to an approved medical waste treatment facility for safe disposal. Non-hazardous items such as gloves, masks and other plastic materials may be taken to a regular rubbish tip with normal rubbish. Regular checkups with the local council will ensure you comply with all rules regarding the correct disposal of medical waste in your region.
