BIO-MEDICAL WASTE MANAGEMENT

Definition : Acc to bio medical waste rules ,1998 of India “ bio-medical waste” means any waste which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining there to or in the production or testing of bio medicals.

Any unwanted residual material which cannot be discharged directly, or after suitable treatment can be discharged in the atmosphere or to a receiving water source, or used for landfill is waste. (Wilson, 1981)

Hospital waste: refers to all waste, biological or non biological, that is discarded and is not intended for further use



Medical waste: refers to materials generated as a result of patient diagnoses, treatment, immunization of human beings or animals

5



Infectious waste: are the portion of medical waste that could transmit an „infectious disease‟.
Pathological waste : waste removed during surgery/ autopsy or other medical procedures including human tissues, organs, body parts, body fluids and specimens along their containers.



6






Reduce the impact waste management . Reduction in the incidence of infection and accidental injuries to hospital staff. Cost-effective disposal of hospital waste.

7

GLOBALLY- Developed countries generate 1 to 5 kg/bed/day Developing countries: meager data, but figures are lower. 1-2kg/pt./day  WHO Report: 85% non hazardous waste : 10% infective waste : 5% non-infectious but hazardous. (Chemical, pharmaceutical and radioactive) INDIA:-No national level study - local or regional level study shows hospitals generate roughly 1-2 kg/bed/day

The Ministry of Environment and Forest has drafted certain rules in exercise of powers conferred by sections 6,8 and 25 of the environment (protection) act, 1986
The Gazette of India extraordinary , part II – section 3- subsection (ii) On 20th July 1998

1. Know what hazards you have 2. Purchase smallest quantity needed, and don‟t purchase hazardous materials if safe alternative exists

**Use mercury-free thermometers

26

3. Limit use and access to trained persons with personal protective gear

Don‟t accumulate unneeded products Don‟t let peroxides and oxidising agents turn into bombs

Examples of hazard labels:

  





Job description Posters on doors Labels on hazards Give feedback on use of PPE and disposal in evaluation Role model safe use and disposal Contact point who is responsible

Slide 33



Separate sharps and infectious waste where they are used
◦ This prevents injuries that can occur when people sort the trash after it is disposed



Janitors can reinforce separation of sharps waste disposal by reporting sharps in garbage to Hospital Infection Control Committee members

Treatment and Disposal Methods of Hospital Waste

36


         

Waste minimization & recycling of waste Identification of points of generation of waste Waste segregation at source Compiling the inventory of waste Waste treatment (disinfection etc.) at the site Waste collection and transportation, on-site and offsite Waste treatment , on-site & off the site Final disposal of waste Occupational safety Continuous monitoring of the system Training of the staff.

Biomedical waste (management &handling) rule 1998, prescribed by The Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt of India, came into force on 20th July 1998. This rule applies to those who generate, collect, receive, store, dispose, treat or handle bio medical waste in any manner. Thus bio medical waste should be segregated into containers/bags at the point of generation of waste. Thus Colour Coding & type of containers used for disposal of waste is came into existence which is shown as follows

• Thus refuse disposal cannot be solved without public education. • Individual participation is required. • Municipality and government should pay importance to disposal of waste economically. • Thus educating and motivating oneself first is important and then preach others about it. • Start disposing waste first from within your home, then outside home, then neighborhood ,then your street, your area ,city and then the nation and the world.

• Lets make this world a better place to live in.
