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.
Cheers

president@apna.asn.au | http://www.apna.asn.auHi 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?
kind regards

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
