How the biomedical wastes can be transported properly? |
|
Answer» Internal transport :The sanitation staff from the centralized team shall be responsible for transporting the different coloured polythene bags in garbage bins from the sluice room (dedicated place where used disposables such as incontinence pads, bed pans and reusable products are cleaned and disinfected), nursing station and treatment room of each ward. Push carts and garbage trollies designed for the purpose should only be used. External transport :- Only general waste collected in the black coloured plastic bags shall be transported in the vehicle by the Municipality authorities. The request shall be made by the hospital authorities to the Municipal authorities to send the vehicle once in day without any failure. The segregated biomedical waste should be transported to the Common Bio Medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) as per latest Government of India 2016 guidelines. |
