COVID-19 Implications on
Healthcare Waste Management 


Our Commitment to service continuity for Canadian healthcare facilities 

Daniels Health is closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure we are in the best position to protect our staff and customers, and ensure continuity of services and operational excellence across our full spectrum of healthcare waste management. Working with the CDC, our compliance experts are keeping up to date with the latest policies and procedures surrounding coronavirus, and consistent with our scientific foundations, we are putting the full force of our infection control approach to work in combatting exposure risk. As the situation evolves, our teams are actively adapting contingency plans to accommodate the unique needs of our customers and the increasing complexities of healthcare services support. Collectively we take very seriously the responsibility to serve healthcare in its time of increased need.

Handling COVID-19 Waste. What you need to know

CLASSIFICATION

COVID-19 waste is to be handled and transported as routine UN 3291 cat B waste. No additional procedures, packaging or labelling is required. 

CRADLE TO GRAVE

Generators are responsible for packaging waste for transport to treatment facilities. Please maintain due diligence when categorizing waste streams to ensure compliance in handling and treatment. 

YELLOW BAG SECUREMENT  

Each bag must be hand tied by gathering and twisting the neck of the bag and using a tie or hand knot to secure the bag, and each container must be securely closed.

BIN CONTAINMENT 

Closed bags must not be visible once secondary container (box or reusable bin) is closed. Ensure bins are tightly secured for transport.
