(c) Clinical sharp hospital waste-objects shall be collected separately in puncture proof plastic containers which shall be closed or sealed.

(d) Clinical hospital waste other than sharp objects shall be collected in thick polythene bags or plastic containers for disposal.

(2) The clinical wastes shall be collected at the point of generation like wards, laboratories and operation theatres in plastic bags or in suitable containers. (a) Every waste generation point shall have two separate bins for collection of clinical and non-clinical waste. Adequate notices shall be posted on the waste collection bins and plastic bags so as to identify the category of waste. Red bins shall be lined with thick black plastic bags for discarding clinical waste. Green bins shall be lined with white plastic bags for collecting non-clinical waste. The needles and other sharp instruments shall be collected in plastic containers or glass bottles partially filled with disinfectant solution and the bottles shall have a sign pasted with 'danger' marked outside. These shall be closed or sealed and disposed off by incineration.

(b) The sealed or tied plastic bags of the clinical wastes shall be transported to the incinerator in closed wheel barrows. The. plastic bags containing domestic (non-clinical) waste shall be disposed at the garbage dumping site. The garbage dumping site shall not be approachable to rag pickers and it shall be provided with asbestos roof for protection from rain.

(c) The non-clinical waste which can be re-cycled shall be collected at a separate site to reduce the quantity of material entering the waste streams. As per the regulations of Drug Control Authority of Andhra Pradesh, all the glass containers shall be broken into pieces before disposal.

(3) All clinical fluids or liquid specimens before conducting of various clinical tests shall be regarded as infective material. They shall be transported to laboratory in spill proof or screw cap bottles and it shall be ensured that there are no spillages.

(4) All liquid wastes such as blood and other body fluids and samples after clinical analysis shall be disinfected by a disinfectant like 1% Sodium Hypochlorite before disposal.

(5) All clinical wastes shall be incinerated and all hospitals where the. incinerators are existing shall give top priority to burn their clinical waste. Health care establishments in rural areas can opt for deep burial of clinical. wastes but precautions shall be taken such that the pits dug for the purpose are far away from the ground water source and the minimum depth shall be

(6) All clinical specimen after carrying out necessary tests shall be disposed off in a discarding jar containing suitable disinfectant. A jar half filled with sodium hypochlorite of 1% strength shall be kept at every such point of disposal. The body fluids to be discarded shall be dropped into disinfectant solution and after 6 hours, contents of the jar shall be discharged through the sink. The jar shall be disinfected with carbolic acid before reuse.

(7) In the operation theatres also, a 100 liter jar partly filled with 0.2% Sodium Hypochlorite solution or other suitable disinfectant solution of required strength shall be kept to be used as waste jar. All mops used for cleaning up instruments, tables or blood contaminated surfaces shall be dropped into this disinfectant solution. After 6 hours contact, the mops shall be taken out and sent for washing to laundry and the spent disinfectant solution discharged through sinks to the sewer.

(8) In health care establishments where visible blood spills or other body fluids occur, the floor or outer areas where such spills occur, shall be cleaned. with appropriate disinfectant, preferably sodium hypochlorite with 0.5% available chlorine. The mixed body fluid and disinfectant shall then be removed and the surface, wiped with disinfectant.

(9) The blood soaked sponges and swabs, shall be kept in a sterile bowl and carefully transferred into a plastic bag which in turn shall be sent for incineration.

(10) The radio active waste material shall be disposed off strictly as per the guidelines of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB).

(11) Every health care, establishment shall cover all mattresses with water proof synthetic material like rexine or plastic. This makes the dis- infection of the mattresses easier. Big Auto claves or Swing Zets are also advisable for disinfection of mattresses].
