Medical waste can be highly toxic and infective and needs to be handled carefully and treated to stop the risk of disease transmission. Treatment methods range from incineration and sterilization to chemical disinfection and microwave heat.

If medical waste is so dangerous, are those people working in the medical waste disposal field safe? The answer is yes. Leading medical waste management companies like MedAssure meet or exceed regulatory standards, using cutting-edge processes to ensure that their employees are working in an environment that fully adheres to workplace health and safety requirements.

The MedAssure system features engineering controls that ensure waste is fully disinfected and destructed to protect facility operators from any exposure to risk. An automatic lift/load system places all medical waste into a fully self-contained unit, which eliminates the need for any double or triple handling of waste. Built-in processes and controls keep operators safe from occupational hazards such as spills, lifting and needle stick injuries that are possible in less advanced medical waste handling processes.

A number of safety checks are built in to the entire medical waste removal process to ensure thorough disinfection. The treated waste is transported using a one-container system, and the non-infectious material can be disposed of like any other trash.
