    Hi all,

    I am asking a question. AS3816 attached for reference.
    Are your clinical waste bins or medical waste bins (240 liters yellow mobile garbage bins) and cytotoxic bins lined with a bin liner?
    If so what type of bin liner is used, who supplies them and who is responsible for tying off the bag when it 2/3 full?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Kind Regards

    Hi Marija,
    Have you contacted your waste disposal company because much of what you ask would depend on how the waste is handled ultimately from an OH&S perspective and from a disposal perspective?

    Hi Marija,

    There will also be state legislation around how waste is to be handled. Your service should also have a destruction agreement with the waste company that should also govern handling.

    HI Marija

    We don’t have bin liners in clinical waste MGBs, but do have purple bin liners in cytotoxic waste MBGs. The liners are NOT tied off prior to transport, the bins are locked prior to being taken to the holding area for transport.

    Our full clinical waste bins are sent to a processing plant with an automated emptying and cleaning process. No liners involved.

    Cytotoxic waste bins are managed separately, with a partially automated system. The cytotoxic MGB liners are provided by the waste company, and cleaned bins come back to the facility with new liners in them.

    I think you might find that some states have specific legislation about how specific waste is handled that may or may not follow the Australian Standard.

    Cheers

    Hi Marija,
    Australian Waste Standards are very comprehensive. I have dealt with the
    infectious waste issue both from our laboratories as the Microbiologist
    dealing with the challenge and from hospitals as involved with Infection
    Control since 1990. I operated with the philosophy that the infection
    controlling officers being pathologists or Infection Control Service was
    responsible for advising about the safety of waste processes ranging from
    the generation of the infectious waste (anything containing body fluid or
    tissue) to the ultimate destruction. That meant that our concerns for save
    handling included the workers and facility dealing with the pickup,
    transport and final process of the waste. Therefore, if the
    binliners cannot tolerate the handling until the final destruction
    without bursting open, they are too full and or not closed safely. Also,
    the bags or containers must not be able to cause injuries with sharp
    contents penetrating the containers. Infection Control would be in contact
    with those handling the waste from clinical areas being the orderlies
    transporting the waste in the healthcare facilities and, the facility or
    private companies processing it further. This included feedback if waste
    was received, unsafe but also having the opportunity to check on the
    cleaning of the hardshell containers and advise on safe handling and
    protective clothing. Our Infection Control Service organise a visit the
    waste destruction sites for our Infection Control Liason staff at least
    once during their introduction. They are subsequently able to give
    feedback to their clinical areas regarding any issues regarding waste
    handling in their areas.

    Hi Marija ,
    At Western our medical waste wheelie bins are lined. Our waste provider supplies all the yellow bins lined ready for use. We do not tie them off, our waste provider on collection of the bins does this.

    Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] Waste and MBG bib liners

    Hi all,

    I am asking a question. AS3816 attached for reference.
    Are your clinical waste bins or medical waste bins (240 liters yellow mobile garbage bins) and cytotoxic bins lined with a bin liner?
    If so what type of bin liner is used, who supplies them and who is responsible for tying off the bag when it 2/3 full?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Kind Regards
