proper management and disposal of this waste materials should be implemented to maximize potential risk of exposure to chemical, radio active, and biological hazards.

The laboratory aid must be among those trained by the institution to take part in the implementation of the waste management plan.

There are 33 components included in the waste management plan.

land-ban restrictions, acceptable wastes, and packing requirements are included in landfill.

The laboratory waste management plan should consider minimizing the impact of the disposal of waste materials in the environment.

There are four tiers of strategic hierarchy.

All laboratory personnel including the laboratory aide should have the knowledge to identify and label chemicals and waste containers in the laboratory.

they should not have proper orientation and regular updates on the waste management procedure.

A laboratory activity should begin without a clear plan for the disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials.

Waste materials have different categories and corresponding safety precautions and follow an appropriate disposal method.

Mix incompatible ways to occur heat generation, gas evolution, or other reactions.

do not segregate waste according to how they will be managed.

Always observe the compatibility of containers and the waist contents.

Always keep the containers open

do not use galvanized steel safety cans for halogenated waste.

Use solvents to avoid corrosion and leaks.

do not use the same funnel for containers with incompatible waste materials.

separately collect aqueous wastes from organic solvent waste.

Place solid chemical waste in a labeled container prior to disposal.

do not dispose non-hazardous solid waste using the laboratory trash or segregate them for recycling.

The primary consideration of waste disposal is always safety.

It is recommended that the laboratory waste materials in the satellite accumulation should not be kept for more than a year.

The amount of waste exceeding the 55–gal limit should be managed accordingly within 3 days.

The waste management manual recommends sorting ways into color-coded plastic bags or containers.

One of the 4 tiers of strategic hierarchy, pollution prevention and source reduction.

a tier of strategic hierarchy, reuse unwanted materials, redistribute surplus chemicals, and reduce hazards.

a tier of strategic hierarchy, Incineration, land disposal, and other treatment methods.

a tier of strategic hierarchy, recycling chemicals and recover energy from waste.

It serves as a temporary storage for waste in the laboratory which should be designated, maintained, and controlled by competent laboratory personnel.

These are secondary containment devices used for spills and leaks from any primary container.

Who launched the healthcare waste management program?

It is a program to provide guidelines to government and private hospitals and other facilities licensed by the BHFS on the proper collection, storage, segregation, transportation, and disposal.
