Processes of the Plan: <br /> A. Medical Waste Segregation, Containment, Labeling, & Collection Procedures: <br /> 1. Medical Waste: <br /> Medical waste (non-chemotherapeutic waste, non-pathology waste, non-pharmaceutical waste, <br /> non-sharps) is contained separately from other wastes at the point of generation. In non-patient <br /> care areas, non-medical solid waste is not to be disposed of in medical waste containment <br /> devices. When cleaning patient care areas, Environmental Services will place all medical wastes <br /> into RED biohazard bags labeled with the word 'Biohazard." These bags are to be impervious <br /> to moisture and have strength sufficient to preclude ripping,tearing or bursting under normal <br /> use and handling. The biohazard bag used must be constructed of material that will pass the 165 <br /> gram dropped dart impact resistance test as required by Standard D 1709-91 of the A.S.T.M. <br /> Documentation from the manufacturer of compliance with these minimum construction <br /> standards will be kept on file in the Environmental Services Department. All waste placed in a <br /> red bag will be considered medical waste. The bags will be tied to prevent spillage in the event <br /> the bag is dumped upside down. Medical waste will be stored and transported in rigid <br /> containers to the Biohazardous Waste Storage Area located near the shipping/receiving area. <br /> The containers will be labeled with the words 'Biohazardous Waste" or the word 'Biohazard," <br /> http://dhaltsO l/policy/policy.nsf/2bO l45f9f8l 8Obc28725727600642564/b3631 e8df0d1 c8c... 3/26/2019 <br />
