What are the Guidelines for Handling Pathological Waste?
Handling pathological waste involves several steps: 1. Segregation: Pathological waste should be separated from other types of medical waste at the point of generation. 2. Containment: Use leak-proof, puncture-resistant containers that are clearly labeled. 3. Storage: Store in a designated, secure area to avoid unauthorized access and potential exposure. 4. Transportation: Ensure that waste is transported by certified carriers to licensed treatment facilities.
