Workers in a number of occupations, including healthcare, waste disposal and sanitation, are exposed to the risk of a work accident involving clinical waste.
Health and safety incidents involving clinical waste are not confined to those that involve dermatological irritation, chemical burns, contagion, contamination or poisoning.
If not managed properly, clinical waste may also cause more typical work accidents, such as those involving slips and trips.
The Health and Safety Executive illustrates this more conventional danger with a hypothetical case study. It shows how a nurse might suffer back injury by slipping on fluid leaked from a clinical waste bag. It is worth noting that in such a scenario, it is very likely that the injured worker would be able to mount a successful claim for 100 percent compensation.
Overfilling of bins containing clinical waste can also present numerous hazards
Those involved in the removal, carriage, transfer and disposal of clinical waste may at times face situations that fall within Risk Category 1. As such, all workers involved in these occupations must follow, and be protected by, the Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
