sanitary workers. Authorities have to provide emphasis on the benefits of the usage
of PPEs, collection bins and isolated vehicles and to conduct appropriate training
programs to maintenance staffs in their regional languages. The different colour
codes as mentioned in BMWM rules, 2016 and its appropriate disposal method are
given below in Fig. 10.4.
10.4.3 Restricted Access for Medical Waste
Waste minimization is termed as the inhibition of waste creation and/or its decrease.
It includes explicit approaches, variations in waste management and environmental
changes. Approaches of waste lessening include modification of manufacturing,
procuring actions, control of invention and generation of less toxic materials. But
that should not compromise the quality of healthcare products and its access and
usage. General solid and liquid wastes are disposed as municipal wastes and the
infectious and contagious wastes are treated first before disposal. Generally, the
disposal of infectious wastes is 10 times more costly than ordinary waste disposal.
Any method which reduces the quantity of infectious waste generation as well as the
cost of waste disposal is said to be the better method for BMW management. In a
