Definition of Biomedical Waste Biomedical waste has been defined as “any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining thereto or in the production or testing of biological or in health camps , including the categories mentioned in Schedule I appended to these Rules ” as per Biomedical Waste Rules 2016.
Why BMW Management is Important ? 80% non infectious (kitchen waste, paper) 15% is infectious (dressings, anatomical wastes, blood bags) 5% is non infectious but hazardous,(chemicals, drugs and mercury) When this 20% of the hospital infectious material is mixed with 80% Then all the 100% waste becomes hazardous and infectious, hence segregation should be at source.
Biomedical waste rules 2016 Gazetted on 28 th March 2016 Replaces Biomedical Waste (Management & handling) Rules 1998 Major Changes – Scope – also includes Ayush Health Facilities, Vaccination Camps, medical or surgical camp, First-Aid Rooms of Schools, Forensic Labs, etc.
SALIENT FEATURES The ambit of the rules has been expanded to include vaccination camps, blood donation camps, surgical camps or any other healthcare activity Phase-out the use of chlorinated plastic bags, gloves and blood bags within two years Pre-treatment of the laboratory waste, microbiological waste, blood samples and blood bags through disinfection or sterilization on-site in the manner as prescribed by WHO or NACO Provide training to all its health care workers and immunize all health workers regularly (Hepatitis B and TT)
SALIENT FEATURES Establish a Bar-Code System for bags or containers containing bio-medical waste for disposal Report major accidents Bio-medical waste has been classified in to 4 categories instead 10 to improve the segregation of waste at source Procedure to get authorization simplified . Automatic authorization for bedded hospitals. The validity of authorization synchronized with validity of consent orders for Bedded HCFs. One time Authorization for Non-bedded HCFs Dispose off the waste with in 48 hrs . No healthcare facility shall setup onsite BMW treatment facilities if a CBMWTF exists within 75 kms of distance , to setup if no such facility.
Steps for Waste Management
Segregation GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Segregation as per the colour coding provided in the BMW Rules, 2016 (Revision 2018). Segregation at the point of generation only. It is the responsibility of the waste generator only. Do not mix general waste generated with the bio medical waste. The work instructions (colour coding) are displayed at appropriate areas of the hospital. 05-03-2019 QI-NHSRC
Collection and Storage GENERAL REQUIREMENTS All the bags used for waste collection is need to be sealed once they are full to the 3/4 th of the capacity and transported to the central waste storage area or interim storage areas Collection in the closed covered containers Collection time needs to be fixed for daily pick. General waste must not be collected at the same time or in the same trolley Appropriate PPE i.e . Gum boots, Heavy duty gloves, face masks and eye wear . All the bags needs to be labelled with biohazard or cytotoxic hazard symbol . 05-03-2019 QI-NHSRC
Transportation In covered wheel barrow based sturdy trolleys through a route which has low traffic flow of patients and visitors. All the trolleys used for the transportation of the waste must be labelled with bio hazard logo. After every transportation cycle, ensure trolley is washed & dried up . Route of transportation preferably be planned in such a way that ensures: Does not include transportation through high risk areas Supplies and waste are transported through separate routes. Waste is not transported through areas having high traffic of patients and visitors Central Waste collection area can be easy accessed through this route Provide safe transportation of waste to avoiding spillage and scattering of waste 05-03-2019 QI-NHSRC
