This document discusses biomedical waste - materials from hospitals and medical facilities that require special handling and disposal due to potential health hazards. It notes that injection sets, medicines, medical packaging and supplies, body parts, samples, films and more all become biomedical waste after use. If not properly disposed of, these wastes can spread infectious diseases through vectors or direct contact and put doctors, nurses, patients, cleaning staff and the public at risk. The document outlines the major and minor sources of biomedical waste and provides guidelines for proper waste segregation, collection, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal to prevent health hazards.

21. BIO MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

22. BIO MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
 Source Segregation
 Collection of wastes
 Storage
 Transport
 Treatment
 Disposal

24. HANDLING OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE

25. HANDLING OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE
BAD- Don’t carry waste in open
bag’s & never carry it through
crowded area
GOOD- Always carry the
waste in secure sealed
container/ bags

26. TRANSPORT OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE
 Untreated bio medical waste should be
transported in specially designed vehicles.
 Manual loading should be avoided as far
as possible.
 The bags / container should be tied /
lidded before transportation.
 Before transportation, signed document
by doctor / nurse must be present with
date, shift, quantity & destination.
 Special vehicle must be used to prevent
direct contact with transportation
operators, scavengers, public or animals.

27. TRANSPORT OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE
 The transport containers should be
properly enclosed.
 Driver must be trained regarding the
procedures followed during the accidental
spillage.
 Wash the interior of the containers
thoroughly.
 Biohazard symbol should be painted on
the trolley.

28. TREATMENT OF BIO MEDICAL WASTE

29. Let the Waste
from a Patient
Not make
Other
Patient(s)
