7. DEFINITION
• The generation , prevention, characterization,
monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and
residual disposition of solid waste.
8. HOSPITAL WASTE
• According to WHO, Medical waste is the waste
generated by health care activities that includes a broad
range of materials , from used needles and syringes to
soiled dressings, body parts , diagnostic samples , blood
, chemicals , pharmaceuticals , medical devices and
radioactive materials.
• 75 to 90% are non infectious
• 10 to 20% are infectious
• In 2000, WHO estimated contaminated injection with
contaminated syringe caused 21million Hep.B infection,2
million Hep. C infection and 260,000 HIV infection.
10. Purpose of waste management
• To prevent of waste material being created.
• To prevent the injuries from sharps that may lead to infection to all
categories of hospital personnel and waste handler.
• To prevent the nosocomial infection.
• To prevent cross infection.
• To avoid the risk associated with hazards chemicals, drugs to
personnel handling waste at all level.
• To minimize the risk of air, water and soil pollution directly due to
waste or due to defective incineration emission and ash.
• To reduce waste.
• To encourage consumers to avoid using disposable product.
29. • General waste:
The safe disposal of this waste is
responsible of the local authority.
• Biomedical waste:
30. - Autoclaving:
Autoclaves are closed chambers that apply
both heat and pressure over a period of time
to sterilize medical equipment. It is typically
used sharps waste and certain other types
like waste from laboratory dishes and
devices.
31. - Deep burial :
Human anatomical waste like human
tissues, organs, body parts, placenta etc.
are deep buried in cities.
32. - Shredding:
The plastic waste, sharp waste should be
shredding but only after chemical treatment
/Autoclaving etc.
33. - Chemical treatment:
Chemical treatment is designed to
decontaminate or deactivate certain wastes
on site rather than packaging and sending
them to a separate facility.
34. - Incineration:
Incineration is method by which a high
temperature dry oxidation process that
reduces organic and combustible waste to
organic in combustible matter and results it
in a very significant reduction of waste
volume and weight.
35. - Land Disposal :
Land disposal is typically used for shredded,
treated and decontaminated waste.
36. - Inertization:
It means mixing water with cement and
other substances before disposal in order to
minimize the risk to toxic substance
contained
• In the waste such as 65% pharmaceutical
waste,15% lime, 15% cement and 5%
water .
38. Roles and responsibilities
Head of hospital:
o Formalizes a waste management team and work with
them to formulate a plan and policy, allocate financial
budget and manpower.
o Training conducted to all staff.
o Vaccinate worker against tetanus and hepatitis B.
o Provide PPE and instruction regarding their use.
o Supervision , monitoring & implementation of action plan.
o Annual reports, accident reports , as required submitted
to concern authority.
39. Roles and responsibilities
Nurse and other staff:
o Monitoring and supervising new staff.
o Collect waste when bin id 3/4th full and untreated
biomedical waste shall not be kept beyond 48 hours.
o Transport waste when visitor flow is minimum.
o Written instruction should be provided regarding color
coding and procedure to be adopted in event of spillage
and accident.
o Proper use of mask and PPE.
o Display bio-hazardous symbol in containers.
