It is important to dispose of biohazardous waste properly. Not only is it imperative, you can be fined thousands of dollars for each item that is a non-compliant item with OSHA.

What is OSHA?

OSHA stands for: Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA stays on top of the regulations which ensure safety and quality in everything. There are strong procedures in place to adhere to. And, rightly so. In a world where diseases as hepatitis are on the rise, these regulations are absolute musts. It is important to note: OSHA requirements do vary, by state and product.
As society moves forward, there is an enormous increase in the amount of waste. Biohazard waste is a full time maintenance business in and of itself. Think of all the types of waste that is created, every single day: Medical waste; Pharmaceutical waste; Transportation waste; Food waste, and the list goes on…
As the need for faster results, higher volumes, and cheaper costs continue to grow – this translates to more product recalls, product returns, and more potential for outcomes that end up in disaster. Where do these things go? Somebody needs to take care of all the WASTE.

Hospitals, tattoo practices, and medical centers require proper disposal units for all the sharps.

And what about dental practices, surgery centers, laboratories? They require proper units for disposable items too. Think of all those gloves. There are many policies and procedures to know about. So many regulations to be clear on. Because of this, there is an overwhelming amount of a lack of understanding.
