Medical Waste Compliance Guide for South African Facilities

Medical waste compliance starts with a simple system: separate waste correctly, use the right container, store waste securely and arrange reliable collection.

Core waste streams

• Sharps waste
• Biohazard or infectious waste
• Pharmaceutical waste
• Anatomical waste
• General non-contaminated waste

Why segregation matters

Mixing waste increases risk, cost and confusion. Separate waste at the point of generation so each stream follows the correct handling route.
