Throughout the world, as life spans increase and populations grow, the demand for medical facilities is on the rise. Hospitals now generate more clinical waste than ever before and with it, serious challenges for infection control and protection of health care staff and the environment.
The containment, handling, transportation and disposal of medical waste is subject to stringent legislation. All producers have a legal and moral obligation to ensure that their waste is handled and disposed of properly. Breakspear ensures that all procedures are undertaken in accordance with current UK and European Law.
The right approach
Breakspear can offer our clients a full range of disposable solutions for all clinical and sharps waste all conforming to the new Environment Agency regulations Disposal of Sharps Waste and The Special Waste Regulations 1996 (as amended).
With all three classifications now in force "special waste" is seen to be potentially more harmful to the environment or the general population. As such this waste is now tracked more closely than either household or sanitary waste. An Environment Agency Consignment Note is therefore used by the Environment Agency to track each individual shipment and ensure that this is transported and disposed of correctly.
Breakspear will produce this note on your behalf and will ensure that this is completed correctly and logged with the Environment Agency. All our clients need do is ensure that any Category 3 sharps we collect are segregated and placed in the appropriate container.
Sharps disposal units
For needles, razors and scalpels. A comprehensive range of containers, including 5 litre, 11 litre and 22 litre sharps containers, for the safe collection and disposal of contaminated sharps and hazardous waste.
