• Introduction

Hospital Waste Management is Aims to protect
public health and environmental safety and
crucial healthcare practice. It focuses on safe
disposal of medical waste and Non Medical Waste
also Prevents disease transmission and minimizes
environmental impact.

• Types of Hospital Waste

• Infectious waste E.g. from discarded diagnostic
  samples, cultures and stocks of infectious agents
  from laboratory work.
• Hazardous waste E.g. Sharps waste,
  pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and radioactive
  materials.
• Non-hazardous waste E.g. Plastic packaging,
  clean glass and plastic, paper and cardboard,
  food scraps.
• Radioactive waste E.g. Its come from Medical
  technology.
• Pharmaceutical waste E.g. Drugs containing
  hazardous or non-hazardous chemicals or any
  Medicine.

• Classification of Hospital Waste

• Segregation and Collection

• Units/Wards Segregation Methods

• Highlight color-coding and labeling for waste
  containers.

• Hazardous or non-hazardous
• Biodegradable or non-biodegradable
• Recyclable or non-recyclable
• Organic or inorganic
• Liquid or solid
• Radioactive or non-radioactive

• Collection Methods

• Frequency
• Safety Measures
• Transportation

• Importance

• Proper waste segregation reduces pollution,
  lowers landfill waste and prevents
  contamination. Efficient collection prevents
  littering and disease spread.

• Storage and Transportation

• Proper storage conditions for different waste
  categories such as Item wise storage.
• Safe transportation practices, such as container
  labeling and vehicle requirements.

9

• Treatment and Disposal

• Methods for treating and disposing of hospital
  waste
• Incineration(close proper Inside the Hospital
  Premises)
• Autoclaving
• Chemical treatment
• Landfill disposal (for non-hazardous waste)
• Emphasize the importance of using(Vendor/Or)
  licensed waste disposal facilities

10

• Regulatory Framework

• The regulatory requirements and standards for
  hospital waste management

• Organization/Department SOP.
• Checklist Maintain
• Government Health Care Waste Management
  Guideline.
• WHO Guidelines.

11

• Risks of Improper Management

• The potential risks and consequences of improper
  hospital waste management

• Health hazards for staff and patients
• Needle Injured

• Legal and regulatory issues

12

• Risk Hazardous Waste Treatment

• Risk Hazardous Waste

• Placenta Treatment.
• Biopsy Treatment.
• Clotted blood.
• Amputated Parts.
• Blood Tubes
• Cytotoxic Waste

• Treatment

• Incineration
• Autoclave
• Chemical Treatment
• Pit 1kg4kgSalt and Hydrate lime
• 3rd Party (Government Authorized)

13

• Recycling and Sustainability

• Recycling opportunities within the hospital (e.g.
  paper, cardboard, plastics).
• Highlight sustainability initiatives, such as
  reducing single-use plastics.

14

• Best Practices of Waste Management

• The key best practices for hospital waste
  management as

• Regular training for staff
• Monitoring and auditing waste practices
• Promoting a culture of responsibility

15

• Safety Precautions of hospital waste management

• The key practices Safety and Precaution

• PPE Hair Net, Mask, Safety Shoes, Face Shield,
  Gloves, Goggle, Protecting Suit(Apron).
• Medical assurance of waste management team
• Separate Collection of Infected / No infected
  Waste
• Proper Training
• Medical Treatment of Needle Injured.

16

• HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections)

Hospital-acquired infections, sometimes referred
to as healthcare-associated infections (HAI), are
acquired infections that are normally absent or
may be incubating at the time of admission.
Usually contracted after being admitted to the
hospital, these infections start to show symptoms
48 hours after being there.

• Preventive

• Before and after interacting with patients,
  healthcare professionals should wash their hands
  properly with soap and water or alcohol-based
  hand sanitizers.
• To completely clean all hand surfaces, hand
  washing should last at least 20 seconds.
• Equipment for personal protection (PPE)To stop
  the spread of illnesses, healthcare professionals
  should put on the proper PPE, such as gloves,
  gowns, masks, and eye protection.
• Make sure you periodically clean and disinfect
  the patient rooms and common areas.
• Utilize the proper disinfectants and adhere to
  the suggested cleaning procedures.

• Importance of Waste Management

• Keeping hospitals free of infectious diseases is
  known as infection control.
• Protecting healthcare personnel from risks is
  secure at work.
• Protecting environments and preventing pollution
  are both elements of environmental protection.
• reducing social risks is a priority of public
  health.
• Legal complying Avoiding penalties and other
  impact.
• Building trust and a good reputation is one way
  to improve reputation.
• Monitoring infectious disease Detecting
  pandemics beforehand.
• Keeping with long-term sustainability desired
  outcomes.
• Better local health and safety is important for a
  healthy community.

• Conclusion

• Proper hospital waste management is crucial for
  safeguarding human health and the environment,
  Segregation, storage, and transportation
  practices must align with waste types to minimize
  risks.
• Treatment and disposal methods should prioritize
  safety and environmental responsibility,
  Recycling and sustainability initiatives
  contribute to responsible waste management.
• Training, monitoring of responsibility are key to
  successful waste management in healthcare
  facilities, Challenges like limited resources and
  compliance issues need to be addressed
  proactively.
• Hospital waste management is not just a
  regulatory requirement but a moral and ethical
  obligation to protect health and the environment,
  Following the best practices and embracing
  emerging trends, healthcare facilities can reduce
  risks, save resources, and contribute to a
  sustainable future for all.
