Bio Medical Waste
Bio Medical Waste
Need of Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facilities
- The implementation of Bio-Waste regulation is unsatisfactory as many hospitals are disposing waste in haphazard and indiscriminate manner
- Lack of segregation practices is resulting in mixing of hospital wastes with general waste making the whole waste stream hazardous
- The recycling of disposable syringes, needles, IV sets and other article like glass bottles is done without proper sterilization
- Waste disposal systems were woefully inadequate or non-existent in few hospitals
Clinical and Biohazardous Waste Management Technology
Bio-medical waste, generated by the healthcare facilities (HCFs), poses infection risks from handling to its scientific disposal. We are catering services from small clinics to large healthcare facilities across India and abroad.
With over 15 years of experience in bio- medical waste management, we ensure safe, compliant, and timely services in this specialized field.
Our categorized storage systems are as per Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2016, manages general Bio-Medical Waste, clinical, cytotoxic, and pharmaceutical wastes and mainly includes human tissue wastes, laboratory wastes, waste from dental, medical, or veterinary wastes, as well as other potentially bio-hazardous wastes.
Efficient Bio-medical Waste Segregation at sources
SMS Envocare's bio-medical waste management systems facilitate the separation of waste through proper labelled and color-coded waste bins at the source, reducing the risk of infections and bio-hazardous leakage and spillages. Effective segregation ensures the safe and sustainable treatment of bio-medical wastes, protecting healthcare workers.
Regulatory Compliance
Navigating the complexities of medical waste management, SMS Envocare provides safe and effective solutions. Our experts ensure healthcare facilities comply with all local and municipal regulations. Through training, site mapping, and online reporting, we help facilities avoid fines and penalties, ensuring comprehensive compliance and safety.
Systematic Steps Involved in the Management of Biomedical Waste
effective management of biomedical waste involves a systematic process that ensures safety and compliance at every stage. The process begins with segregation at the source, where waste is categorized to prevent contamination. This is followed by packing at the source, where waste is securely packaged to minimize risks during handling. Storage at the source involves keeping the waste in designated areas until it is ready for collection. The next step is collection, where waste is gathered from various points and prepared for transportation to treatment facilities. Upon arrival, the waste undergoes storage until it is processed. The treatment stage involves methods such as incineration, autoclaving, or chemical disinfection to neutralize harmful components. Finally, the waste is disposed of in a manner that adheres to environmental regulations, ensuring that any potential hazards are mitigated
