Prepare for the Changes in Medical Waste Waste management is a growing concern for every healthcare institution in the U.S. Faced with increased regulation, greater environmental sensitivity and growing worker safety concerns, healthcare leaders like you must develop a proactive plan of action for waste.

A new Environmental Protection Agency rule for hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators (HMIWIs) makes this need even more urgent. Under this 1997 rule, up to 85 percent of medical waste incinerators may eventually have to close. Whether the rule affects you immediately or not, now’s the time to assess and refine your hospital’s waste management practices.

To help you prepare, we invite you to order a new manual, “Hospital Waste Management: A Template for Action.” The manual was compiled by healthcare professionals like you, and provides everything you need to know to develop your own workable, cost-effective and epidemiologically sound plan of action – one based on reality and science rather than myth and fanciful perceptions.
