Here, a classification defines infectious medical waste as medical waste which is capable of producing an infectious disease. Medical waste shall be considered capable of producing an infectious disease if it has been, or is likely to have been, contaminated by an organism likely to be pathogenic to healthy humans, if such organism is not routinely and freely available in the community, and such organism has a significant probability of being present in sufficient quantities and with sufficient virulence to transmit disease. Types of waste include:
For storage of medical waste, rules state in summary that it shall not be stored onsite for more than thirty days, shall be stored at or near the point of pickup or treatment in a manner that maintains the integrity of the containers (prevents leakage, provides protection from water, rain, and wind). The storage area shall be: constructed of easily cleanable, impermeable, durable materials, the floor shall not be carpeted or have open seams, and floor drains must discharge to a sanitary sewer disposal system. Storage areas must be kept clean and in good repair, have access control to prohibit unauthorized entry, and be posted with the international biohazard symbol.
Medical facilities have policies and procedures in place to ensure that medical wastes are properly handled, treated, and disposed of. As long as these systems are functioning properly, medical waste does not affect the public. The West Virginia Infectious Medical Waste Program performs inspections of transport vehicles used to haul waste in West Virginia, annual inspections of all of West Virginia’s large quantity generators (facilities generating in excess of fifty pounds of infectious medical waste per month), and monthly inspections of the treatment facility. These inspections assist facilities in ensuring that their procedures are operating correctly and provides a means to facilitate changes and updates to infectious medical waste procedures. The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection also promotes compliance by providing assistance and/or enforcing regulatory requirements of hazardous waste generators and hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities. OHSA rules also impact various aspects of medical waste treatment, storage and disposal.
All of these government entities are performing the important function of overseeing and regulating compliance, in the best interests of public health and safety. Your health care facility is doing the same thing. Services that can assist you include medical waste disposal, biohazard removal, how to deal with sharps and expired RX pharmaceuticals, mail back programs for smaller facilities, and suites of safety compliance solutions, that include full-service training, tip, quick start and frequently asked question guides of diverse medical waste disposal topics, and infographics and advice about medical waste and its disposal, and how to save money and still get the job done thoroughly and safely.
