I would say that when a facility combines the two waste streams, we have to <br />use both sections of the statute. So, that would be §118275 (c), §118285 (d) and §118275 (g). There <br />are no lid label or lateral label requirements for sharps waste. <br />What has always helped me with inspections and enforcement was asking myself if they were meeting <br />the intent of the law, to keep the waste contained and the facility's staff knew what each container <br />was for and used each container properly. I asked myself, did they properly segregate and store the <br />waste. I never want to them feel like they are getting violations when they are meeting the intent of <br />the law. I have this view because when they do have an actual violation and improper practices that <br />need to be corrected, they are less likely to listen to the inspector, if they have been given a violation <br />for an area that they have met the intent of the statute. If I were you, I would issue a corrected insp. <br />report to St. Joseph. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alison Dabney, Chief <br />Medical Waste Management Program <br />Department of Public Health <br />P O Box 997377 MS 7405 <br />Sacramento, CA 95899-7377 <br />916-449-5692 <br />fax 916-449-5665 <br />From: Alfonso Arambula [EH] [mailto:aarambula@sjcehd.com] <br />Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 20119:23 AM <br />To: Dabney, Alison (CDPH-DDWEM) <br />Subject: FW: Sharps Waste Containers <br />I attached the scanned report. <br />6/8/2011 <br />
