Biohazardous Waste. â refers to waste (e.g. body fluids or tissues) which has the risk of carrying human pathogens. Biohazardous Waste is usually generated at health care facilities or research facilities, and the term is used interchangeably with Medical Waste. â is the term OSHA uses to describe blood and body fluids and âOPIMâ (other potentially infectious material) as defined in the Bloodborne Pathogens regulation (BBP).
Another indicator of the presence of medical waste, which may be used instead of or in addition to the red or orange color code, is the BIOHAZARD symbol. Medical waste from health care facilities must be treated in a way that destroys its potential for causing disease, prior to disposing it in a landfill.
