Biohazardous waste is any waste saturated with liquid or semi-liquid blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). Often, biohazardous waste is used interchangeably with such terms as regulated medical waste, biomedical waste, clinical waste, infectious waste and may vary in local or state regulations. Each of these waste streams is regulated and must be disposed of by specific means to mitigate their risk to environmental health and safety. Hazardous waste should not be mixed with biohazardous or medical waste, and each should be disposed of as separate streams. Hazardous waste should never be mixed with biohazardous or medical waste, and each should be disposed of as separate streams.
Biohazardous waste types include red bag waste, sharps waste, pathological waste and trace chemo therapy. For more information please see our What Is Regulated Medical Waste article.
While there are a variety of treatment methods for biohazardous waste the two most common methods are autoclaving and incineration. For more information, see our What Is Regulated Medical Waste article.
As an industry leader, Secure Waste understands the importance of compliantly managing the collection, transportation, treatment, and appropriate disposal of various types of waste as required by regulations in your area.
Sharps waste should be disposed of in a designated sharps container, including needles, scalpels, blades, and pipettes that have been in contact with blood, body fluids, or microorganisms. These containers can be placed alongside biohazardous waste or in red bag waste to minimize the risk of needlestick injuries and ensure the safety of employees.
Pathological waste, including human and animal body parts, organs, tissues, and surgical specimens devoid of formaldehyde, formalin, or other preservatives, must be packaged separately in containers clearly labeled for incineration. We are ready to help you and your staff ensure the safe segregation, packaging, and disposal of your facility’s pathological waste. It’s essential to handle this waste responsibly.
Addressing chemotherapy waste is essential for ensuring a safe environment for patients and staff. This waste includes empty vials, syringes, needles, IV bags, and contaminated gloves. To protect health, it’s crucial to separate, package, and label this waste properly for disposal. By following regulations, we uphold safety standards and show our commitment to everyone’s well-being. Together, we can create a safer healthcare environment!
Medical waste generated from procedures, including any items saturated with human blood or other potentially infectious materials like bandages, gauze, and personal protective equipment (PPE), must be treated as regulated medical waste (RMW) or red bag waste. It is imperative that these items are disposed of properly in clearly marked hazardous waste disposal containers designated for biohazard pickup.
