What Is Clinical Waste Management?

Clinical waste management starts from how you keep the waste in your premises, collection by a waste company, to the disposal of the waste. All of these are enforced by the clinical  waste management rules and regulations, by-laws and legislation. Which means that clinical waste mismanagement could lead to fines, closure of your business, and even imprisonment.

Clinical waste comes from clinics, nursing homes, pharmacies, old age homes etc and all of these places produce different kinds of medical waste daily. However, all this waste needs to be handled with extreme caution and care. It is not the same as the waste from our homes or regular businesses. It is characterised by its ability to harm, maim or even kill what it comes into contact with. For example, if you touch a used needle and it happens to poke you, you might be infected with whatever infection it may be harboring.

According to the WHO, only about 15% of clinical waste is considered hazardous. The rest of it is a general, non hazardous clinical waste. However, it still needs to be disposed of with great care.

Clinical Waste Disposal Farnborough

Clinical disposal is  a tricky business. It requires waste disposal services to have a licence and certification to dispose of it. This is because it poses great danger to the environment, the people and animals. When dumped anywhere, it could contaminate our drinking water systems, kill our lands and cause harmful reactions to our animals and wildlife. Hink birth defects, contraction of incurable diseases and even death.
