Medical Waste Generation

Medical wastes require careful disposal and containment before collection and transport for off-site disposal. These measures are designed to protect the workers who generate medical wastes and who manage the wastes from point of generation to disposal. Healthcare facilities (HCFs) are required to dispose of medical wastes regularly to avoid accumulation. Medical wastes requiring storage should be kept in labeled, leak-proof, puncture-resistant containers under conditions that minimize or prevent foul odors. The storage area shall be kept cold at temperatures in the range of 5°C to 8°C as per applicable standards and norms. The cold storage area shall have impermeable surface flooring and should be well ventilated and inaccessible to pests with restricted access to the premise. Generators are required to be in compliance with the respective stipulations in regards to the handling of Medical Waste:

  • Medical waste must be segregated at the point of generation and not be mixed with other wastes. Use proper bags for each of the waste categories produced.
  • Do not place other wastes inside bags and containers. Contents of bags and containers must not be handled or removed.
  • Bags should not be compacted in containers. Keep container covers closed. Store containers in the final garbage room for collection.
  • Make sure that bags are not filled more than 65% of their capacity and that bags are tied and sealed properly in order to prevent leakage. Do not drag bags on the floor and use trolleys for transfer.
  • Sharps boxes should be sealed with a cap or lock and should not be filled with more than 75% of their capacity.
