They may be wanting to have a single-use sharps container put in a red bag, <br /> too, but they will only be able to recommend it. I think Stericycle and other haulers have the containers in a secondary <br /> container anyway,to meet DOT standards. I mentioned this to the county, also. <br /> Alison <br /> From: Matthew.J.Huray@kp.org [mailto:Matthew.J.Hurav@kD.org] <br /> Sent: Wednesday,August 06, 2014 11:51 AM <br /> To: Dabney,Alison (CDPH-DDWEM) <br /> Subject: Fw: Response Requested: Kaiser Permanente Stockton Medical Waste Audit <br /> Alison- <br /> This is what I left you the voice message about. <br /> We are using the stericycle reusable sharps container program,these containers are packaged and transported using the <br /> requirements under Stericycles DOT special permit. The Stericycle permit allows for the reusable sharps containers to be <br /> packaged in fiber board box labeled as medical waste per DOT labeling requirements and lined with a clear bag or be loaded <br /> on to a special transport cart. <br /> The question I have for you is... <br /> Can this inspector require us to place a reusable sharps container into a red bag? <br /> Per section 118280(c)of the medical waste management act,the red bag cannot be opened until after the waste has been <br /> treated. <br /> We are continuing to work with the local enforcement agency to resolve this issue and setting up a meeting to discuss this <br /> issue further with them. <br /> Thanks <br /> Matt <br /> Matthew 7.Huray,CHMM,HEM <br /> NEH&S Senior Consultant <br /> Kaiser Permanente I V E u(xa <br /> National Environmental,Health&Safety �f n <br /> 2101 E.Jefferson Street, 6th Floor(Cubicle#87) National Environmental <br /> Rockville, MD 20852 Health and Safety <br /> 301-816-6254(office) 301-452-0442(mobile phone) 301-816-7419(fax) <br /> 8/25/2014 <br />
