Sanitary Waste Legislation

There is much legislation regarding how clinical waste is disposed of. Below are some laws governing the use of clinical/ sanitary waste disposal.

• The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 specify that all companies are required to provide a suitable means for the disposal of sanitary dressings in ladies washrooms.

• The Water Industries Act 1991 also states that no items should be flushed that could cause a blockage within a sewer or drain.

• And in addition, the Environmental Protection Act 1990 places a legal "duty of care" upon companies to ensure that all waste produced at their premises is correctly managed right up to the point of final disposal.

The 'Duty of Care' Act demands that sanitary waste is managed to a point of disposal. Waste must be carried by a licensed carrier, and a full audit trail of documentation must be available at all times. Failure to comply can lead to a hefty fine. This applies to all commercial premises, even if only one female is employed
