What Type of Facility Are You?

In Ohio, healthcare facilities are split into two different categories when it comes to hazardous waste. There are small quality generators, or SQG, which would generate less than 50 pounds of infectious waste each month. These would typically include smaller clinics and offices. A large quantity generator, or LQG, is one that creates more than 50 pounds of infectious waste each month. Those in the latter category are required to register with the Ohio EPA.

Biomedical Waste Disposal Keeps People Safe

When you have a sharps waste disposal container for all of the needles and other sharp items at the clinic or hospital, and when you have proper containers and bags for the disposal of bloody gauze, gloves, and similar items, it helps to eliminate the risk of spreading blood-borne diseases. If you want to reduce this risk, then you take biohazardous waste disposal seriously. You make sure everybody is properly trained at your facility, and you make sure you’re working with a high-quality company that can offer these services. This will also help to keep your facility from being fined for not complying with the federal and state laws.
