  4. Handling the Medical Waste Generated at Home Determining how to handle or dispose of the medical waste generated at home, is a challenging task. Above all, it is an important task as incorrect disposing of medical waste can cause severe damage to the environment and the bio-life. Just like there is a proper way to dispose of every kind of trash, disposing of medical waste should also be done appropriately. Identifying the items of medical waste, following the government regulations regarding the proper disposal of medical waste at home, and accepting the procedure for disposal of contaminated sharps and other types of medical waste are necessary steps in the medical waste disposal process.

  5. Medical Waste Generated at Home All types of medical wastes are always potentially active to carry transmittable infectious pathogens or viruses like HIV, Hepatitis B or C virus, etc. Medical wastes generated at home include; • Bandages filled with blood or body fluids • Needles • Glucose Strips • Sharps containers • Used gloves • IV Catheters • Cotton swabs soiled with body fluids or blood • Biohazard Bags • Urinary Catheter sets When there is medical waste generated at home, it becomes one’s responsibility to handle it with utmost care and precautions. Identify the difference between medical waste and trash, and know how to rightly dispose of them. Medical waste should be properly segregated, handled, labeled, stored, and finally disposed of.

  6. Labeling the Medical Waste Once the medical waste is properly segregated and stored in different containers, it becomes necessary to label those containers correctly with universally acknowledged biohazard symbols. These labels and symbols help identify biohazard waste from other kinds of trashes in order to dispose of them separately and properly. Final Consideration Apart from hospitals and clinics, medical waste is generated at home as well. It should be disposed of properly to keep your family safe from getting infected with the pathogens it carries. Hence, appropriate knowledge of types of medical waste and its disposal is a must if you are generating medical waste at home. Additionally, you should also be aware of and follow the state and federal law policies and procedures for correct disposing of medical waste.
