8. Preventing Disease
Transmission
The single most effective measure to
control the transmission of
Bloodborne Pathogens is:
Universal Precautions
Treat all human blood and other
potentially infectious materials like
they are infectious for Hepatitis B
and HIV
9. Collection of Infectious Waste
Infectious medical wastes must
be collected at the point of
generation in the appropriate
color coded bags
Orange bags for autoclaved
waste, Red bags for all other
treatment methods
Biohazard bags must be labeled
with the international biohazard
symbol and appropriate wording;
“biohazard,” “biomedical waste,”
“infectious medical waste,” or
“regulated medical waste”
10. Sharps
Must be collected at the point of generation, in a
leak-proof and puncture-resistant container
Containers must bear the international biohazard
symbol and appropriate wording
Containers should
never be completely
filled, nor filled above
the full line indicated
on box.
11. Liquid Infectious Medical Wastes
Placed directly in
the Biohazardous
waste,
Poured down a
sanitary sewer,
Solidified using an
approved
disinfectant
solidifier and
discarded in the
solid waste
Liquid Infectious Medical Waste, i.e., theLiquid Infectious Medical Waste, i.e., the
contents of suction canisters, may be disposedcontents of suction canisters, may be disposed
of in several ways:of in several ways:
12. Packaging and Storage
Wastes shall be collected in a lined,
cardboard box or reusable plastic
container that is labeled with the
biohazard symbol and appropriate
wording.
Once the box or container is full, the bag
lining it must be sealed and the container
then sealed shut
Boxes must be labeled with facility name,
address, phone and fax numbers, and the
date
A full, sealed container can be stored on
site for no more than 30 days
13. Shipping and Manifests
Every load of waste shipped off-site
for destruction is tracked using a
manifest system
The manifest is a multiple copy
document that accompanies the
waste to the treatment facility
Every individual who takes possession
of the waste, including someone from
your facility, must sign the manifest
As the waste generator, the WVU HSC
is responsible for the waste until we
receive the proof-of-destruction copy
of the manifest
14. Over Classification
The improper disposal of solid wastes that do
not meet the definition of infectious medical
waste, as if they were infectious
It is the most commonly cited violation, with
98% of permitted facilities being marked
It increases the financial burden on patients
and taxpayers in the form of increased disposal
costs for health care facilities
15. Routinely Over Classified Items
Diapers (adult and baby)
Paper towels
Unsaturated dressings and
chucks
Wrappers and packaging
IV bags and oxygen tubing
Gloves with no visible
contamination
Urine catheters and bags
Paper, newspapers, and
food containers
Urine cups and specimen
containers with no visible
blood
Empty Medication vials and
broken glass
16. When you mix infectious waste and
regular solid waste together, you
are not permitted to separate them
Once combined,Once combined,
