Medical Waste Management

Effective medical waste management is critical in ensuring that those working or being cared for within the healthcare sector are protected from its potential risks.

Not only does the incorrect handling of medical waste management pose huge problems for the environment, but it could also lead to disastrous consequences when it comes to the spread of infection and illnesses.

For all facilities within the healthcare sector – which includes hospitals, care homes and clinics – handling waste correctly is of utmost importance.

Samsic UK’s medical waste management experts are trained to handle the refuse generated within healthcare facilities correctly and effectively, with the protection of staff, patients, and the environment at the forefront of our operations.

We provide tailored medical waste management services that begin with a thorough assessment of a facility’s current waste management system, identifying areas for improvement and outlining innovative strategies that will allow for safe and efficient medical waste management.

      FAQs

      • Healthcare waste management is the process of safely storing, processing, and disposing of any waste generated within a healthcare facility. The umbrella of healthcare waste management includes care homes, clinics, pharmacies, hospital waste management and more. 

      • If healthcare waste is not dealt with carefully and correctly, there is the immediate risk of injury, irritation, infection, and disease. This could be caused by everything from the spillage of harmful fluids to accidental contact with hazardous objects, such as needles or used dressings. This is in addition to the usual environmental risks posed by incorrect waste management in general.  

      • Healthcare waste management stands apart from general waste management systems as there is a much greater risk to human health if it is handled improperly. This is due to the much higher volume of hazardous waste generated in healthcare facilities, as opposed to the less potentially harmful waste usually generated across other sectors. 

      • Hazardous waste is any waste that has the potential to harm human health or the environment. Healthcare facilities generate a variety of hazardous wastes, including medical waste, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. 

      • Non-clinical waste is defined as any waste that is not hazardous and does not come into contact with patients. This type of waste includes items such as office paper, plastic cups, and food waste. Healthcare facilities generate a variety of non-clinical wastes, which can be difficult to manage – it’s important that all non-clinical waste is recycled wherever possible.
