HOSPITAL WASTE MANAGEMENT   DR.N.C.DAS
BIO-MEDICAL WASTE   B - Begin a System M - Make it Effective   W - Work for its success
WHAT IS BMW   ? Any waste which is generated during the process of diagnosis, treatment,  research conducted for human beings and animals.  BMW POLICY: BMW (Management & Handling) rule 1998 were notified under the Environmental  Protection Act 1986 on 20 th  July 1998.  Every hospital to develop a comprehensive system for handling medical waste in terms of  Segregation, transportation and disposal.  A license has to be obtained from State Population Control Board so as to handle the infective waste.
OBJECTIVE OF BMW MANAGEMENT:  - To minimize the production/ generation of infective waste.  - Recycle the waste after treating to the extent possible.   - Treat the waste by safe and environmentally acceptable methods.  - Adequate care in handling to prevent HAI. - Safety precautions during handling the BMW.

IMPLEMENTATION  BMW HANDLING  & MANAGEMENT SEGGREGATION  TRANSPORTATION  DISPOSAL
SEGGREGATION  COLLECTION  LABELLING   HOLDING  SEGGREGATION CAN BE DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS  : The segregation to be done at the site of generation.  The responsibility of proper segregation lies with the generator of BMW.  Segregation to be done as per category strictly as per BMW rule.
COLLECTION OF BMW   No. CATEGORY  TYPE OF CONTAINER  COLOUR CODING  DISPOSAL METHOD 1. HUMAN ANATOMICAL WASTE  PLASTIC BAG  YELLOW  INCINERATOR  2. ANIMAL WASTE  PLASTIC BAG  YELLOW  INCINERATOR 3.

MAJOR CATEGORY COLLECTION  Incerable Waste  Yellow Autoclave/ Microwave  Red or Blue Bag.  Sharps   Sp.  Container.  Non infected  Black Needles   to be destroyed in needle destroyer.  Syringes   in hypo solution before segregation.  Recyclable waste  red or blue bag
Required for reduction of waste to be sent for treatment Different types of waste require different types of disposal Bags and containers for disposal should be placed where they can be easily accessed
LABELLING  All the bags when filled up to ¾ should be removed tied and labeled.  (Type of waste, site of generation) 2. All bags must be Bio- degradable having the Bio- hazzard signs.  HOLDING   Temporary storage or holding of the bags for a certain period of time before it is transported.  No. untreated waste be kept stored beyond a period of 48 hours.  It should be ensured that waste bags are not torn up by dogs and other animals.  The category of waste which require pre- treatment should be treated at the site of generation in hypo solution before discarding.  The quantity of waste generated should be kept in record by the generator.
TRANSPORTATION  Within the hospital BMW transportation route to be designated to avoid  patient care areas.  There should be separate and fixed time schedule for collection of infected and  non- infected waste.  To avoid holding at least the waste should be collected twice a day.  Dedicated wheeled containers, trolleys or carts with cover and with proper labeling  to be used for transportation. In the event of any spillage the carts should be properly disinfected and washed.  All the transporters needs to be immunized and take safety measures to avoid accident.  STORAGE  There should be provision of over night storage for the infected waste.  It should be protected from animals and rig pickers.  Proper recording of waste collection from various areas of the hospital.  The area of storage should be covered and grilled from all  sides.
DISPOSAL OF HOSPITAL WASTE  DISPOSAL  WITHIN THE  HOSPITAL  OUTSIDE THE  HOSPITAL   GENERAL WASTE:  Through Dalao  MCD/ NDMC  INFECTED WASTE:   Through incinerator/  autoclave/ microwave and shredder/ deep burial. as per available facility.  Through licensed transporters. With special BMW transport vehicles.
MANAGEMENT OF INCINERATOR / AUTOCLAVE   Monitoring of incinerator/ autoclave/ microwave shall be carried out once in a month to check the performance of the equipment.  The proper operation & Maintenance of the incinerator/ autoclave/ microwave.  Attainment of prescribed temperatures in both the chambers of incinerator while incinerating the waste.  Not to incinerate PVC plastic materials.  Only skilled persons operate the equipment.  Proper record book shall be maintained for the incinerator/ autoclave/ microwave/ shredder. Such record book shall have the entries of period of operation, temperature/ pressure attained while treating the waste, quantity of waste treated etc.  The scavengers shall not be allowed to sort out the waste.  Proper hygiene shall be maintained at, both, the waste treatment plant site as well as the waste storage area.  Waste sharp, plastic waste, chemical and liquid waste to be treated with  chemical disinfectant like1% hypochlorite solution or any other equivalent chemical  reagent to ensure disinfection.
LIQUID WASTE   The chemical waste/ Lab. Waste suitably diluted treated with 1% hypo solution  before discharge to the sewerage.  Effluent generated from the hospital should conform to the limits as laid down in the rule Schedule. (v) The liquid and chemical waste should not be directly discharged to the main  sewerage without treating.
Nosocomial infections Injuries from sharps Risk of infection of waste handlers, scavengers Recycling of used syringes and other disposable items. Health hazards of poor waste management-
