Medical waste Kielce
Medical waste management in Kielce is a very important and extremely necessary industry. Due to the size and population density of the city and its surroundings, there are many medical, paramedical and veterinary facilities operating here. What does medical waste management involve? What are the difficulties associated with it? What is the responsibility of facilities that generate waste? How can medical waste be disposed of and how can it be effectively managed? We explain all the important issues regarding medical waste in Kielce.
What does the term medical waste Kielce mean?
Medical waste has been divided into three categories in Polish law. The first group includes infectious waste, the second hazardous waste, other than infectious waste, and the third non-hazardous waste. Each of these groups of waste has different characteristics and requires different methods and conditions for segregation, storage, collection and disposal.
However, all of them impose on the facilities that generate them the obligation to dispose of them in accordance with the letter of the law, on time and safely. Of course, none of the facilities does this on their own. In the case of such needs, the services of specialized companies are used (and these are not entities that carry out the removal of municipal waste), from which medical waste Kielce, waste collection, waste transport and waste disposal have no secrets. In addition to reliable efficiency and professionalism, timely implementation of services, permits and certificates are of key importance, which only specialized companies have.
What residues of activity constitute medical waste and where does it arise?
Medical waste in Kielce, as in all other cities - the regulations are nationwide and apply to all such entities - is generated by clinics, outpatient clinics, hospitals, laboratories, but also beauty and cosmetology salons, aesthetic medicine clinics, dental offices, veterinary offices, tattoo parlors, laboratory testing points and many other facilities conducting medical, research and medical-related activities.
Medical waste Kielce is everything that comes into contact with blood, secretions, body fluids of people and animals. Starting from needles and syringes, through medical equipment, including post-operative equipment, diapers, disposable gloves, masks, to clothes, dressings, test tubes or tissues and organs. Each of these items contains microorganisms that can adversely affect the health and safety of people and animals, while also posing an ecological threat to the environment.
This is why rational and responsible management of medical waste is so important, which allows you to gain a guarantee of the health and safety of people, animals and the environment.
Medical waste Kielce - everything you need to know
The legislator precisely defines not only what constitutes medical waste, but also how it must be segregated and stored. The storage of medical waste is very different from municipal waste. It requires the use of special safeguards - containers and bags that are durable and resistant to external conditions and mechanical damage.
Each bag and container must be marked in an appropriate way. The marking must include information about the type of waste (code marking), where it was generated – facility data along with the REGON number and other information specified by law, as well as opening and closing times and dates. The label must be in a visible place and remain legible until it is disposed of.
At EKORR, we offer not only special bags for medical waste, but also canisters for liquid waste, containers in various sizes and labels that facilitate waste management.
Containers and bags with waste must be stored in specific thermal conditions and collected by specialized entities within the statutory deadline, which depends on the nature of the waste.
Therefore, managing medical waste imposes on entities a great deal of responsibility and the obligation to deal with it efficiently, thanks to which it is possible to prevent downtimes that could disrupt the smooth functioning of the facility.
