When disposing of medical waste, it is important to follow safety protocols, including wearing the appropriate protective gear such as gloves and masks, to avoid being exposed to any pathogens. Medical waste must also be labeled as such, bundled in secure containers that are tightly closed and cannot be punctured or break open under any circumstances. Additionally, disposable containers should be used when possible for collecting biohazardous materials and discarding them in sealed bags in appropriate sites like the hospital biohazardous-waste room. Finally, you should make sure not to dispose of medical waste down the sink or drains as they may lead to potential water contamination.
