Definition of Medical Waste

These definitions are a reference for determining what would constitute
medical waste and the need for TCC to properly clean, decontaminate and
disinfect a trauma scene.

Anatomical/Pathological Waste is tissues, organs and body parts that are removed
during surgery, autopsy or in any way that may contaminate the local environment.

Human Blood, Body Fluids and Blood Products that are saturated and/or dripping with
human blood or body fluids that are caked with dried blood or body fluids;
including, but not limited to, serum, plasma and other blood components and
their containers and body fluids.

Isolation Waste is biological waste and discarded materials contaminated with blood,
excretion, exudates and secretions from human beings who are isolated to
protect others from certain highly communicable diseases.

Contaminate Sharps are needles, syringes, blades and scalpels used in conjunction
with pathological waste, human blood, body fluids and blood products.

Animal Waste is contaminated carcasses, body parts and bedding of animals that are
known to have been exposed to infectious agents.

Common Questions:

"Can I have an employee clean a scene in a work environment?"

Answer:
Federal Regulation 29CFR1910.1030 states: that no employee can be placed in a
position to be exposed to bio-hazardous waste without first:
1) Receiving Blood Bourne Pathogen Training.
2) Having written Blood Bourne Pathogens exposure control plan.
3) Having been provided with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
4) Having been offered a Hepatitus B Vaccine and exposure evaluation follow up.
5) Being provided with a method to remove properly package, store and have
transported in properly marked containers to an approved termination facility.

After these requirements have been met, there may also be state and local laws that
you need to be in compliance with before an employee can enter or clean a scene.

"Can't any cleaning or janitorial service handle blood?"

Answer:
Not necessariliy. Only companies who are properly trained and equipped can legally
abate bio-hazardous waste such as blood or other bodily fluids. Removal of
bio-hazardous waste is dangerous. Without being able to determine which spill is
infected with disease, extraordinary precautions must be taken. A tiny prick or even
exposure to one's eyes can be a death sentence.

Without special training, precautions, equipment and protective suits, an employee
could pick up a contaminant and spread the disease unknowingly to his or her family.
Death by these pathogens can be slow and agonizing, causing great emotional and
financial burdens for the victim as well as his or her family.
