Red Medical Waste Disposal Bags | US Bio-Clean

(5 days ago) Red medical waste disposal bags have a very specific set of uses, and by following their rules, you can achieve efficient and safe disposal of waste.

A number of consumables are needed in a first assist kit. The most necessary is a pocket resuscitatour or resuscitation face shield for use if you have to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Powder-free vinyl gloves give the first aider vital protection from blood and body fluids when administering first assist, while bio-hazard clinical waste disposal bags ensure the safe disposal of kit soiled with blood or body fluids. A pair of Tufkut scissours can enable the first aider to save vital seconds by cutting away clothing to access wounds or injuries. A foil blanket is useful to retain a patient hot and prevent hypothermia, while a spectrum of rubs and petroleum jelly can assist in the treatment of minour injuries, bumps and bruises.

15 For those occasions where mothers elect to retain their placentaes for social/religious reasons, the placenta should not be packaged /transported home in clinical waste bags. This is to prevent the clinical waste bag entering the Local Authority waste stream and stop up at a landfill site. Mothers and their partners must be informed that human tissue (Polybags, placentas) must not be discarded to landfill sites. An approval form must be completed prior to removal from site. Sharps The safe disposal of sharps is imperative to reduce the risk of inadvertent injury to staff, patients and the rest. Sharps containers, which must comply to UN 3291 and BS 7320 are to be used for syringes, needles, scalpel blades, stitch cutters, glass vials, ampoules and contaminated broken glass, pipettes and other similar waste. The disposal of a sharp is the special responsibility of the user, and must not be handed to, or left for someone else to dispose of. Used needles must not be resheathed by hand, bent or broken prior to disposal. Once sharps have been placed in the container, no attempt should be manufactured to retrieve them. Sharps containers must be correctly assembled according to the manufacturer's instructions and the appropriate trademark block annotated, denoting the originating department and assembler. Containers must not be overfilled, and once ¾ full, should be stored in a secure area to await last disposal. Containers must not be stored next to any heat origin, in direct sunlight or where the public has direct access. Sharps containers should be stored out of reach of patients, particularly children. Sharps containers must not be placed into yellow clinical waste bags, nevertheless must be placed directly into the yellow wheeled bins. Storage and Security Clinical and other wastes may need to be stored before incineration or transport for disposal. Waste should not be allowed to collect below any circumstances, in corridours, wards or other places accessible to members of the public. 15

You have a lot of things to transport, including a few mentioned in this article. Where would you put all this stuff? Invest in a clinical bag that is compact, nevertheless offers superb storage space. Most of the times, nurses favour to buy normal bags above dedicated clinical bags. The only contrast is that clinical bags offer more diversity in terms of storage and accessibility.

The bin liner - a brief history

The bin liner is such a part of modern day life that you could be forgiven for thinking it was always there, but of course it wasn't!

In Canada in 1950 an inventor by the name of Harry Wasylyk from Winnipeg, Manitoba, alongside his colleague Larry Hansen - another Canadian, from Lindsay, Ontario - invented the first polyethylene bin liner, which was the colour green.

Of course, being a North American creation, the world's very first bin liner wasn't called a bin liner, or even a rubbish bag, but a garbage bag (that's rubbish, North America!).

Whilst obviously very clever chaps, Messrs Wasylyk and Hansen didn't quite spot the future direction for the humble bin liner and the fact that it would end up in millions of homes around the world, as the first bin liners were designed for commercial use rather than use at home.

Having sold the first bags to the Winnipeg General Hospital, Wasylyk and Hansen sold their invention to the Union Carbide Company, Lindsay, where they worked and the company saw their potential for future use. Union Carbide began manufacturing the first green garbage bags for home use that decade and the very first bin liners (or garbage bags) for home use went on sale in the late 1960s under the name Glad Garbage.

So if you like bin bags then you should be glad for Glad Garbage, even if you aren't glad that the name includes the term garbage. It's probably a better, or less rubbish, brand name than Glad Rubbish anyway, even if it sounds a bit rubbish to call rubbish garbage.

Make sense? Well, congratulations to Messrs Wasylyk and Hansen for their clever invention, which is anything but rubbish… or garbage for that matter. Here's to you sirs!

Bin liner types - one size does not fit all

What does the term 'bin liner' mean to you? What sort of bin springs to mind and, more importantly, what sort of bin liner or bin bag do you think of fitting inside that bin?

Those very questions will prompt a wide range of answers, depending on who you speak to, reflecting the huge variety of bin liners available to fit the broad and varied array of bins or rubbish receptacles out there.

Bin liners range from very small bags that fit mini pedal bins - the sort commonly found in bathrooms - or kitchen caddies made from biodegradable material that are used to collect food waste disposal, right up to industrial sized bags that fit in wheelie bins or large compactor bins used predominantly outside business premises.

In between, you'll find a broad range of bin bags and liners that cater for bins of all shapes and sizes, including:

• Traditional dustbins
• Pedal bins
• Swing bins
• Square bins
• Flip-top bins
• Push-top bins (e.g. Brabantia)
• Wheelie bins
• Food bins / Kitchen caddy
• Compost bins
• Compactor bin
• Recycling bins
• Public litter bins

Bin liners - a black and white issue

The vast majority of bin liners or bin bags - depending on which term you prefer to use - are made from either black or white polythene, although there is a huge range of colours available to meet various waste disposal needs (more details below).

When considering black or white polythene, a good rule of thumb for bin bags is that thin means white and thick means black. Of course this is not always true - the gauge of polythene used for both white and black polythene bin bags will vary - but more often that not, thicker bags are made of black polythene.

Bin liners made from white polythene include a range of bags to fit small bins for domestic use, such as pedal bins, swing bins or square bins. These bags are commonly made from thin, lightweight white polythene as they are designed to deal with light duty use - e.g. tissues, toilet rolls innards, pencil sharpenings etc.

The old-fashioned classic black bin bag is that used for your everyday rubbish, whether in your kitchen bin, an outside dustbin or just used loose to collect rubbish from a wide area, e.g. clearing up after a party.

The standard dimensions of a regular black bin bag are between approx. 85cm and 100cm long - approx. 34” to 39” - and between 64cm and 74 cm wide - approx. 25” to 29”.

More so than white bin liners, black bin bags come in a huge range of thicknesses, from the cheap and cheerful ultra-light price beater sacks at 80 gauge thick, to the ultra thick heavy duty bags, which are up to 350 or 400 gauge thick.

So you could be forgiven for thinking your choice of bin liner is a black and white issue, although this is not the case. Bin liners are available in a huge variety of colours. The coloured varieties tend to be slightly more expensive than the standard black variety, but they can be helpful in many other ways. Here is one of them...

What is the contrast between orange and yellow clinical waste bags?

Yellow clinical waste bags are used in the UK to securely dispose of clinical waste manufactured by animals or humans . Bags need to comply with the UN3291 normal and conform to European legislation to mitigate any potential risks. Healthcare providers need to organise specialist assortment and disposal of clinical waste.

Plastic bags do not provide a secure storage option for waste. Crows, rats, mice and other animals will smash open both normal and clinical bags to acquire to the contents, spreading it into the surrounding area and carrying a few items away.

Organise your recycling with coloured bin liners

If you want to separate your rubbish or waste to make it easier to dispose of, then coloured bin liners or bin bags could be just what you are looking for.

Today you can buy bin bags in a range of different colours to cater for your waste disposal needs, whatever they are.

If you just want to separate your rubbish into recyclables and non-recyclables, then why not choose black bin bags for your general waste and then green bin bags for your recyclable waste. You're doing your bit for the environment, so why not choose a green bin bag for your green waste?

The colour of bag you need may be determined by your local council or the company that collects your rubbish. Many people have wheelie bins of a certain colour that need to be filled with a particular type of waste but, in some instances, wheelie bins aren't a practical solution so coloured bin bags solve that problem.

Always check with your local council or the relevant organisation managing your waste disposal, but the following waste is often associated with the following colour of bin bag or wheelie bin:

• General (non-recyclable) rubbish - black
• Garden waste - green or brown
• Food waste - green or brown
• General recycling - green
• Plastic recyclables (bottles, trays etc.) - blue
• Aluminium (cans or tins) - grey or silver
• Hazardous waste (e.g. asbestos) - red
• Clinical waste (as used in hospitals) - yellow

Clear bin liners

There is one other 'colour' bin bag not referred to in the list of coloured bin liners. That is partly because it was worthy of a mention all on its own and partly because it doesn't really have a colour - it's see through!

Clear bin liners, otherwise known as see-through bin liners or transparent bin liners, are very useful for managing your waste disposal. They allow you to keep an eye on the rubbish being disposed of to ensure that no foreign materials other than those allowed are dumped in the bag.

Imagine an office where there is loads of paper recycling, but it has to be paper only being thrown away in the bag because it is all tipped straight into a giant shredder. Well what if someone accidentally threw their empty drinks can into the paper bin after finishing their drink?

If you were using traditional black bin liners you might never see that can, which could cause irreparable damage to a very expensive printer. But if you're using clear bin liners then, when you take the bin liner from out of the bin, it's very easy to take a quick look at the contents of the bin. Give it a quick shake about to check there's nothing trapped in the middle that shouldn't be there, and then you're done.

Clear bin bags are very popular in the workplace and are available in a range of thicknesses, to deal with light duty use such as paper, right through to super heavy duty bags for disposing of rubble and other hardcore materials on building sites etc.
