Individuals who handle blood or body fluids will pour them into a container resistant to breaking and <br />equipped with a tightly fitting lid or stopper. <br />4. Individuals who handle medical waste for disposal will affix a water=resistant label to all containers or <br />packages of untreated medical waste. <br />5.
