PROJECT FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR COMMON BIOMEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT FACILITY Proposed By Govt. Bundelkhand Medical College Sagar At Village- Habsili , Tehsil- Sagar Dist-Sagar (MP ) GOVT. BUNDELKHAND MEDICAL COLLEGE SAGAR (M.P.) 1. Identification of project and project proponent Govt. Bundelkhand Medical College Sagar proposes Common Bio Medical Waste Treatment Facility in the Dist. of Sagar. The Proposed project of addition of CBWTF as a part of the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage and Disposal facilities (TSDFs) of falls under Category B, schedule 7(da) as per the EIA notification 14th Sep, 2006 and subsequent amendments dated 1st December, 2009 & 17th April, 2015. The setting up of CBWTF attracts the recent directions of National Green Tribunal dated 28th November, 2013 making Environmental Clearance from MoEF&CC mandatory. 2. Brief Description of Nature of The Project A Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF) is a set up where bio- medical waste, generated from a number of healthcare units, is suitably treated to reduce adverse effects that this waste may pose. The treated waste may finally be sent for disposal in a secured landfill or for recycling purposes. Expansion of Existing BMW Facility from land fill method to Rotary Kiln ,Auto clave, Shredder Etc. Proposed project of setting up of the Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility for treatment of 100 kg per hour rotary kiln based bio medical incineration project, includes Incinerator, Autoclave, Shredder, Storage and Effluent Treatment Facility.

These key components can be broadly classified into the following: Waste Segregation: Waste segregation will reduce the load of bio-medical waste and this also minimizes the environmental impacts associated with further processing. Waste will have to be segregated into domestic refuse, hazardous waste and infectious waste separately. Further the infectious waste will have to be segregated into plastics, metals, and other infectious waste generated. Segregation is done effectively if performed at source. CPCB has issued clear guidelines for color coded segregation. Waste Collection and Transport: Facility / unit have to ensure that there are no environmental or human health impacts while collecting & transporting Bio-Medical waste. GOVT.

Indore Institute of Law Introduction Since beginning hospitals are health care institution which provide treatment to patients by performing different methods but people are unaware about its effect of waste generated. The adverse effect of the garbage generated by hospitals on the environment and human being is dangerous. It is creating health hazard to the health care workers, general public and nearby flora & fauna. The waste generated from the hospitals is biomedical waste. It is a kind of waste contain infectious materials and may also include the used and unused bandages, infusion kits and other laboratory waste which contain biomolecules or organism that are restricted for environment release. It may be in solid or liquid form. Definition Bio medical waste means any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining there to or in the testing of biological and including categories mentioned in schedule 1.1 The biological waste excised from a patient during surgery, which is disposed of in hazardous waste receptacles at the end of the procedure.2 The Biomedical Management Rules In year 1986 the act was passed by the ministry of environment and forest and notified the rules in July 1998 relating to Bio-medical waste (management and handling).

  • Waste Management
    United Nations Environment Programme / SBC World Health Organization Fundamentals of health-care waste management (1) This section provides general information on HCW and key elements of management procedures that are essential to know before developing a HCWM plan. It includes the following: The need for the development of supervision and management structures; A presentation of the risks associated with HCW; A definition and a classification of HCW; The minimum observance that should be respected for HCWM; A guidance for the specific management of hazardous and infectious HCW; Indications for the development of protective measures for HCF staff and the environment. 1.1 Supervision and management structures for HCW (2) HCWM is first of all a management issue before being a technical one and therefore completely depend on the commitment of the entire staff within HCFs. This dedication will only be possible if people are first of all properly trained and made aware of the risks that this particular type of waste poses. It is therefore important to make sure the curricula of medical and para-medical staff includes this important public-health issue (see § 3.4 for further information). (3) When a new staff member is engaged, it is highly recommended that a specific clause regarding the safe management of HCW be included in the contract, so as to make the new employee fully aware of the importance of this part of his/her work and made liable in this respect. (4) To make sure HCW is properly managed on the long term, it is important to supervise on a regular basis the practices of the staff.

  • Solid Waste and Bio Medical Waste Generation and Its Management
    Solid Waste and Bio Medical Waste Generation and Its Management Constructional Phase Solid Waste Solid waste during constructional phase was mainly of excavated earth, concrete debris with bits and pieces of steel, insulation materials for air-conditioning and packaging materials, cement bags, waste papers, cardboard packing materials etc. Solid wastes which were saleable were sold off to recyclers. Rest was disposed off in areas designated by the local authority. Operational Phase Solid Waste Approximately 273 Kgs municipal waste per day- mainly food waste i.e. Biodegradable solid waste (other than Bio-medical waste) and 274 Kgs. of Non biodegradable solid waste (other than Bio-medical waste) per day is generated in the Fortis Hospital. Adequate number of collection bins, separately for biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes have been provided as per Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rule, 2000. Waste form such bins are being collected separately on daily basis. Planned and timely collection at the place of origin by housekeeping staff and closed transport to storage yard is also recommended. Collected wastes are stored separately in a secured enclosure within the premises from where wastes are being collected by the Municipal Authority on daily basis for ultimate disposal. Non biodegradable waste is being sold to vendors for recycling. About 100 Kgs of Bio-Medical wastes per day is generated which is being collected timely in a planned manner at the place of origin as per State Pollution control norms by housekeeping staff and closed transport to closed storage yard is being done. Colour coded special closed containers have been provided as storage yard which are being removed by M/S.
