Clinical Waste Regulations, Waste Legislations and Laws

Let Initial’s medical services decipher all the complex regulations and laws around your clinical waste disposal for you.

The waste legislation controlling the handling, collection and disposal of clinical waste is extensive and can be confusing. That’s why many producers trust Initial medical services’ extensive expertise in waste regulations, legislations and laws to take care of their clinical waste disposal.

The lack of understanding in the process of clinical disposal often results in unintentional breaking of laws. Clinical waste regulations apply to any person or organisation that produces clinical waste. The ‘producer’ is responsible for care of their clinical waste while they hold it and for packing it appropriately to prevent its escape. The producer is also responsible for ensuring that all the regulations around clinical waste disposal are met. Moreover the description of the waste needs to be accurate and contains all the information necessary for safe handling, treatment and disposal.

All clinical waste handling and disposal procedures must comply with:

• The Controlled Waste Regulations.
• The Environmental Protection Act including the Duty of Care Regulations.
• The Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
• The Hazardous Waste Regulations.

In this complex and demanding waste legislative environment, it’s good to know you can turn to Initial medical services for advice and assistance at any time.
