Waste Management Guidelines for Health Care Facilities - August 1998
The guidelines were developed in close consultation with Infection Control, Waste Management Industry, Environmental Health, Workcover and the EPA.The guidelines will assist health care facilities in responding to new legislation.
The emphasis of the guidelines is on waste minimisation, in line with the Government’s 60 per cent reduction target by 2000. The guidelines outline the need for licensing by the EPA and recognise the need for management and staff to work together to achieve improvements in waste management.
The guidelines form part of a package that includes the guidelines, Generic Hospital Waste Plan and a training package. For any further information please contact the Environmental Health Officer from your Area Public Health Unit
