HOSPITAL WASTE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL
Med-X Healthcare Solutions is an experienced service provider with a Quality Management System accredited to ISO 9001 standards, ensuring that the management of clinical and other related waste is compliant with both state and federal legislation and requirements.
Having access to a reliable and compliant hospital waste management service is a crucial and fundamental aspect for any healthcare facility. These toxic waste streams can be extremely dangerous to humans, animals and the environment if not handled correctly. Failing to dispose of clinical and related waste in accordance with government and State legislation guidelines can have serious consequences for healthcare businesses in Australia, including fines and reputational damage.
Med-X operates comprehensive and regulated clinical and related waste disposal services within the healthcare industry. We provide EPA and local government compliant services to safely and correctly collect, transport and dispose of medical waste in a reliable and discreet manner. From large inner-city hospitals to regional GP clinics, Med-X can help to identify your healthcare facility waste management needs and customise our range of solutions to suit your specific requirements.
It is important to note that it is the responsibility of the waste producer – e.g. hospital or GP clinic to ensure all waste streams are packed correctly to ensure compliant, safe and approved transportation of the waste to the EPA approved site for correct treatment and destruction.
Types of Clinical and Related Waste
Also known as biohazard, medical and hospital waste, clinical and related waste as its often called, refers to a wide range of materials generated by the healthcare industry, including:
- Infectious items
- Cytotoxic substances
- Expired pharmaceutical products
- Sharps
- Anatomical waste.
Certain types of clinical and related waste must be processed in specific ways to eliminate their potentially hazardous components and their harm to individuals and the environment. If you are unsure of how to categorise different types of clinical and related waste, Med-X can efficiently and easily arrange this process for you.
