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).
Autoclavable waste bags must be used in biohazardous waste collection containers. Bags must be placed in a secondary container (i.e., tray with raised sides), which is placed on a cart for movement to the autoclave facilities. Please see our page on Autoclave Validation for Biohazardous Waste Treatment.
