As we all know, medical waste containers play a huge role in ensuring medical and health safety, but the following points also need to be paid attention to when collecting medical waste.

First of all, medical institutions should collect the generated medical waste in a timely manner and place it in special packaging or closed containers that prevent leakage or sharps penetration according to categories. The color of medical waste packaging bags, sharps boxes, turnover boxes (barrels) is light yellow, and warning signs and warning words should be printed in obvious places.

Secondly, before containing waste, medical waste packaging or containers should be carefully inspected to ensure that there is no damage, leakage and other defects. When the outer surface of the packaging or container is contaminated with infectious waste, the contaminated area shall be disinfected or a layer of packaging shall be added. When the medical waste contained reaches 3/4 of the packaging or container, an effective sealing method should be used to make the sealing of the packaging or container firm and tight.

Finally, what are the requirements for the internal transportation of medical waste in medical institutions? Special transportation tools for preventing leakage and scattering shall be used to collect and transport medical waste to temporary storage sites in accordance with the internal medical waste transportation time and route determined by the unit.
It is important to note that there are three things that are absolutely forbidden:
1. Medical institutions and their staff are prohibited from transferring, buying or selling medical waste.
2. It is forbidden to dump or pile up medical waste in non-collection or temporary storage sites
3. It is forbidden to mix medical waste with other waste and household waste.
