AB  - Because medical waste may present potential hazards to employees,
waste handlers and the general public, all facilities generating this
form of waste should develop and implement a medical waste management
strategy. This strategy should be prepared after conducting a survey to
determine the types and estimated amounts of medical waste generated by
the facility. The strategy should address medical waste handling,
including segregation, packaging, in‐house transport and storage. The
management plan must also prescribe appropriate treatment procedures for
contaminated waste, and designate proper methods for final disposal of
medical wastes and treatment residues. Finally, the facility must ensure
the implementation and monitoring of this strategy.
