Biomedical waste (BMW) is generated in every health facility, which if not disposed off properly poses a risk for health and environment. Handling, segregation, mutilation, disinfection, storage, transportation and final disposal are vital steps for safe and scientific management of biomedical waste in any establishment. The objective was to assess the biomedical waste management (BMWM) practices and knowledge regarding BMWM in a tertiary care hospital.

Sodium hypochlorite is extensively used as a disinfectant in the health care industry for more than 150 years. There are lots of misconceptions are there even to this day regarding the dilution and time of exposure required for its disinfection action. National guideline on Biomedical waste published by the Ministry of Government of India in its recommendations on Biomedical Waste (BMW) rule of 2016 had suggested the use of 10 % Sodium hypochlorite which was later corrected as typographical error and changed to 1 % which is now followed in the BMW Rule – 2018.

Clinical Laboratory produces large quantities of liquid infectious waste in the form of body fluids including blood. Biomedical waste management generally covers the solid waste generated in the Health care set up. Liquid infected waste management in a hospital is mainly addressed in the form of Sewage treatment plant (STP) or Effluent treatment plant (ETP) which is made mandatory for hospitals. Construction of these facilities involves lot of financial expenditure. Small facilities may not be able to afford to construct a STP or ETP in their facility.

Unregulated biomedical waste management (BMWM) is a public health problem. This has posed a grave threat to not only human health and safety but also to the environment for the current and future generations. Safe and reliable methods for handling of biomedical waste (BMW) are of paramount importance. Effective BMWM is not only a legal necessity but also a social responsibility.

Advances in scientific development and research activities and patient care activities the amount of waste generated is increasing in amount day by day. About 10 to 25% of the hospital waste is considered hazardous and possess serious health threats. Lack of knowledge about proper segregation and disposal of the health care waste may cause various threats and hazards. All health care workers including doctors, nursing staffs, laboratory technicians, housekeeping individuals are working in our hospital.

Biomedical waste has been one of the major headaches of any hospital. Eighty percent waste generated from the hospitals is general waste and the remaining twenty percent comes under the biomedical waste categories. If this waste is not properly managed, it is dangerous for people, animals and environment due to its high harmful potential. In the present investigation, aerobic bacteria like Escherichia coli (32%), Staphylococcus aureus (28%), and Bacillus spp. (10%) were isolated from the biomedical waste.

In these days, it is impossible to think an area of knowledge that can keep on developing without the make a collaboration in interdisiplinary fields. Biomedcal Engineering is an interdisiplinary field that advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine, and enhances people health through crossdisciplinary actions that merge the all of the engineering disiplines with the biomedical branch and clinical practice.
