Managing hazardous waste in the clinical laboratory

G A Hoeltge. Clin Lab Med. 1989 Sep.

Abstract

Clinical laboratories generate wastes that present chemical and biologic hazards. Ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, and infectious potentials must be contained and minimized. A summary of these problems and an overview of the applicable regulations are presented. A checklist of activities to facilitate the annual review of the hazardous waste program is provided.
