What is the Proper contaminated waste disposal?

Answer 1

In healthcare, waste disposal procedures differ somewhat depending on whether the patient lives at home or in an institution (hospital / nursing home) and whether there is currently an infection as well.

Home Waste Disposal

Common sense measures usually prevail when a person is at home. For examples, patients should place used tissues in a waste basket. Washcloths, towels, and bedding should be laid flat if wet to prevent mildew, and laundered in warm to hot water. Garbage should be placed in containers (with well-fitting lids) outside the house until trash pick-up. A diabetic should use a sharps container for needle disposal; most County Health Departments can arrange for disposal of a sharps container as medical waste.

Personnel should use proper handwashing and gloving, especially when handling anything contaminated with human waste or blood. Double-bag old dressings, etc. If there is an acute infection or infected wound, all persons should use sterile dressing techniques (mask, gown, glove) and double-bag all used items for the trash.

Hospitals, Nursing Homes

Again, common sense measures come first: handwashing, using gloves, etc. Personnel should know the proper way to remove used gloves. All used items should be immediately put in the trash or sent for laundering. Some institutions still use auto-claves to sterilize tools but most places use individual packs that can hold used items before being put in the trash. Most trash placement for equipment (disposable tweezers, scissors, etc) is placed in a separate room, not at bedside.
