Where is the HCWM Industry
at present?
—  Focus on Illegal dumping
—  Focus on Treatment Facilities
—  Focus on good segregation
—  Focus on training
Historical focus on
Segregation
—  Continual focus on good segregation
—  The results research conducted in two projects:
—  National Solid Waste Management Strategy for
Swaziland - Mbabane Hospital (2000 – 2001)
—  Sustainable health care waste management in
Gauteng - Leratong and Itireleng (2000 – 2003)
Result of the research on
segregation
1.  Insufficient containers and / or liners at point of generation
2.  Inconsistent colour coding
3.  No disposable containers
4.  Incorrect type, sizes of containers used
5.  Incorrect placing of equipment
6.  Poor inter-relations between departments
7.  Poor job performance
8.  Non-adherence to colour coding
9.  lack of people management and accountability
10.  lack of regular monitoring and supervision
Historical focus on Training
—  Training frequently considered as the panacea for
all the ails the industry
—  Training cannot be effective in isolation
Presentation for safhe april 2014 handout
So, what are the critical shifts?
1.  Impact that procurement has on all the 7 steps
2.  Impact that poor storage facilities at dispatch has on
ability to plan and provide containers at source
3.  Impact that poor segregation has on internal and
external collection, transport and treatment
4.  Impact that lack of adequate interim storage has on
internal transport and within the hospital environment
5.  Impact of inadequate internal transportation systems
6.  Impact that the Central Storage has on the hospital
environment and external collection and transportation
1. Impact of Procurement on
7 steps of cradle-to-grave
—  Correct containers for the type of waste
—  Supplied at the right time
—  Types of containers purchased impacts on placement
—  Interim storage requirements are determined by the type of size
of containers (or vice versa)
—  Internal transport needs are determined by the type of
containers used
—  The types and sizes of containers used to store the waste will
impact on the size of the Central Storage area
—  External transport needs to cater for the type of container
—  The containers (whether single use or reusable) impact on how
treatment is carried out
Procurement needs
—  Knowledge of the types, sizes and colours of
containers required
—  Budget to purchase the necessary items
—  Good stock control system in place to maintain a
consistent supply and order before stock runs out
—  Sufficient stock for emergency situations
—  Ordering routines set up in accordance with usage,
size of the facility and delivery delays
2. Impact of poor storage
facilities at dispatch store
—  Inadequate storage for new items resulting in the
need to keep small quantities of consumable items
—  Ordering required to be done on more frequent
intervals
—  Poor security at storage areas
• Uncontrolled stock levels in
units
• Stores not aware of the impact
Before: After:
• Sufficient	
  stock	
  for	
  levels	
  in	
  the	
  
central	
  warehouse	
  
Regular	
  supply	
  and	
  good	
  stock	
  control
Storage needs at dispatch
store
—  Storage needs for consumable items planned.
—  Size determined by quantities generated
—  Access for delivery vehicle with sufficient space for
turning circles
—  Storage space sufficient in size to accommodate 2 – 3
months supply
—  Storage requirements for new reusable containers
awaiting distribution.
—  Secure store, sufficient venitlation, good lighting,
protection from the elements, (closed brick building)

3. Impact of poor segregation
—  Injury to collection and transport staff
—  Additional expense incurred due to larger quantities
required to be incinerated
—  Larger items such as gas cylinders thrown into the
waste
—  Dumping of HCRW on landfill as HCGW
—  Access of children to infectious waste and sharps
Support needs for good
segregation
—  Supply of sufficient containers for all categories of HCW
generated
—  Correct placing for easy access on walls and floor
—  Brackets on walls, baskets or containers on floors, dressing
trolleys and/or other means for getting the waste containers
to source
—  Sufficient height where containers are safe and not accessible
to children
—  Small autoclaves in laboratories provided to reduce highly
infectious waste
—  Space for wheelie bins or trolleys to maneuver during internal
transport
—  Regular removal of full containers with frequency determined
by the quantities of HCW generated
4. Impact of lack of
adequate interim storage
—  Build-up of HCRW within the wards
—  Exposure to patients and visitors
—  Infection control compromised
Interim storage needs
—  Temporary storage of the size to accommodate the
generation of 2 – 3 days of HCRW (over weekends or
when the internal collection does not happen)
—  Sufficient in size to accommodate both HCRW and
HCGW.
—  Able to accommodate the containers for each category
of waste generated in the HC Facility. (Plastic boxes in
smaller units, wheelie bins in larger units)
—  Space for refrigeration of anatomical waste if the need
to store for longer than 24 hours.
—  Space required for the storage of pathological in
laboratories and pharmaceutical waste in pharmacies
—  Well ventilated, adequate light, smooth surfaces, good
ventilation
Presentation for safhe april 2014 handout
5. Impact of poor internal
collection and transport
—  Exposure of HCRW to patients and visitors
—  Exposure to staff transporting
—  Infection Control principles compromised
Needs for Internal Transport
—  HCRW and HCGW transported separately
—  Larger HC Facilities can have a separate service
route/lifts
—  Routes and lifts large enough to allow for size of
containers and turning circles
—  Trolleys provided sufficient support
—  Ramps/slopes provided instead of steps
—  Provision made for motorised transport in larger
hospitals
Presentation for safhe april 2014 handout
Presentation for safhe april 2014 handout
6. Impact of poor central
storage facilities
—  Accumulation of HCW in all different areas of the
HC Facility
—  More frequent collections required
—  Access to HCRW by patients and visitors
—  Infection control principles compromised
—  Injury to staff and transporters
—  Cleaning of reusable containers not carried out
regularly
Central Storage Area needs
—  Size of the storage area determined by the
quantities of waste generated over a given period
and the specified frequency of collection
—  Space requirements are also determined by the
size of the reusable bins (wheelie bins in larger
facilities or plastic boxes in smaller facilities)
—  Freezer or cold room (2 degrees C or less) required
for the storage of anatomic al waste if stored for
longer than 24 hours

Central Storage Area needs
—  Both HCGW and HCRW is required to be stored for periods of
time
—  Ideal to have an area that can accommodate the full spectrum
of HCW (including recycling)
—  Reduction of HCGW can be achieved by having waste
compactors on site in the larger hospitals
—  Provision for clean and dirty areas
—  Provision for scales
—  Provision made for the storage of oil, grease, thinners, paint
etc.
—  Provision made for the storing and collection of recycled
items
Central Storage Area needs
—  Provision made for good ventilation and lighting,
easy cleaning and drainage, emergency lighting,
access control, signage.
—  Easy access to the area for wheelie bins, and
vehicles of different sizes
—  Provision made for cleaning of reusable containers
Presentation for safhe april 2014 handout
Summary
The nursing staff are the proverbial ham in the
sandwich where HCWM is concerned.
They cannot effectively operate without:
—  Proper procurement and dispatching facilities and
procedures for the regular supply of containers
—  The full support of hospital services for the
provision of adequate facilities and systems

  • 6. Where is the HCWM Industry at present? —  Focus on Illegal dumping —  Focus on Treatment Facilities —  Focus on good segregation —  Focus on training
  • 7. Historical focus on Segregation —  Continual focus on good segregation —  The results research conducted in two projects: —  National Solid Waste Management Strategy for Swaziland - Mbabane Hospital (2000 – 2001) —  Sustainable health care waste management in Gauteng - Leratong and Itireleng (2000 – 2003)
  • 8. Result of the research on segregation 1.  Insufficient containers and / or liners at point of generation 2.  Inconsistent colour coding 3.  No disposable containers 4.  Incorrect type, sizes of containers used 5.  Incorrect placing of equipment 6.  Poor inter-relations between departments 7.  Poor job performance 8.  Non-adherence to colour coding 9.  lack of people management and accountability 10.  lack of regular monitoring and supervision
  • 9. Historical focus on Training —  Training frequently considered as the panacea for all the ails the industry —  Training cannot be effective in isolation
  • 11. So, what are the critical shifts? 1.  Impact that procurement has on all the 7 steps 2.  Impact that poor storage facilities at dispatch has on ability to plan and provide containers at source 3.  Impact that poor segregation has on internal and external collection, transport and treatment 4.  Impact that lack of adequate interim storage has on internal transport and within the hospital environment 5.  Impact of inadequate internal transportation systems 6.  Impact that the Central Storage has on the hospital environment and external collection and transportation
  • 12. 1. Impact of Procurement on 7 steps of cradle-to-grave —  Correct containers for the type of waste —  Supplied at the right time —  Types of containers purchased impacts on placement —  Interim storage requirements are determined by the type of size of containers (or vice versa) —  Internal transport needs are determined by the type of containers used —  The types and sizes of containers used to store the waste will impact on the size of the Central Storage area —  External transport needs to cater for the type of container —  The containers (whether single use or reusable) impact on how treatment is carried out
  • 13. Procurement needs —  Knowledge of the types, sizes and colours of containers required —  Budget to purchase the necessary items —  Good stock control system in place to maintain a consistent supply and order before stock runs out —  Sufficient stock for emergency situations —  Ordering routines set up in accordance with usage, size of the facility and delivery delays
  • 14. 2. Impact of poor storage facilities at dispatch store —  Inadequate storage for new items resulting in the need to keep small quantities of consumable items —  Ordering required to be done on more frequent intervals —  Poor security at storage areas
  • 15. • Uncontrolled stock levels in units • Stores not aware of the impact Before: After: • Sufficient  stock  for  levels  in  the   central  warehouse   Regular  supply  and  good  stock  control
  • 16. Storage needs at dispatch store —  Storage needs for consumable items planned. —  Size determined by quantities generated —  Access for delivery vehicle with sufficient space for turning circles —  Storage space sufficient in size to accommodate 2 – 3 months supply —  Storage requirements for new reusable containers awaiting distribution. —  Secure store, sufficient venitlation, good lighting, protection from the elements, (closed brick building)

  • 18. 3. Impact of poor segregation —  Injury to collection and transport staff —  Additional expense incurred due to larger quantities required to be incinerated —  Larger items such as gas cylinders thrown into the waste —  Dumping of HCRW on landfill as HCGW —  Access of children to infectious waste and sharps
  • 19. Support needs for good segregation —  Supply of sufficient containers for all categories of HCW generated —  Correct placing for easy access on walls and floor —  Brackets on walls, baskets or containers on floors, dressing trolleys and/or other means for getting the waste containers to source —  Sufficient height where containers are safe and not accessible to children —  Small autoclaves in laboratories provided to reduce highly infectious waste —  Space for wheelie bins or trolleys to maneuver during internal transport —  Regular removal of full containers with frequency determined by the quantities of HCW generated
  • 20. 4. Impact of lack of adequate interim storage —  Build-up of HCRW within the wards —  Exposure to patients and visitors —  Infection control compromised
  • 21. Interim storage needs —  Temporary storage of the size to accommodate the generation of 2 – 3 days of HCRW (over weekends or when the internal collection does not happen) —  Sufficient in size to accommodate both HCRW and HCGW. —  Able to accommodate the containers for each category of waste generated in the HC Facility. (Plastic boxes in smaller units, wheelie bins in larger units) —  Space for refrigeration of anatomical waste if the need to store for longer than 24 hours. —  Space required for the storage of pathological in laboratories and pharmaceutical waste in pharmacies —  Well ventilated, adequate light, smooth surfaces, good ventilation
  • 23. 5. Impact of poor internal collection and transport —  Exposure of HCRW to patients and visitors —  Exposure to staff transporting —  Infection Control principles compromised
  • 24. Needs for Internal Transport —  HCRW and HCGW transported separately —  Larger HC Facilities can have a separate service route/lifts —  Routes and lifts large enough to allow for size of containers and turning circles —  Trolleys provided sufficient support —  Ramps/slopes provided instead of steps —  Provision made for motorised transport in larger hospitals
  • 27. 6. Impact of poor central storage facilities —  Accumulation of HCW in all different areas of the HC Facility —  More frequent collections required —  Access to HCRW by patients and visitors —  Infection control principles compromised —  Injury to staff and transporters —  Cleaning of reusable containers not carried out regularly
  • 28. Central Storage Area needs —  Size of the storage area determined by the quantities of waste generated over a given period and the specified frequency of collection —  Space requirements are also determined by the size of the reusable bins (wheelie bins in larger facilities or plastic boxes in smaller facilities) —  Freezer or cold room (2 degrees C or less) required for the storage of anatomic al waste if stored for longer than 24 hours —  .
