Colorado’s Growing Healthcare Sector
Colorado is also a growing state, due to its healthy economy, good labor supply and livability. Currently, the healthcare and social service sector provides employment to 11% of Colorado employees, which is 1 in every 9 people and second only to retail. Where there are healthcare facilities there is also medical and biohazardous waste. Colorado’s regulations are managed by the CDPHE (Colorado Department of Public Health Environment) which separates medical waste into 8 categories:
- Blood and Bodily Fluids
- Infectious Waste
- Sharps Waste
- Chemotherapy Waste
- Radioactive Waste
- Pathological waste
- Trauma Scene Waste
- Pharmaceutical Waste
In regard to pharmaceutical waste there are very stringent guidelines around the handling of expired drugs, waste materials containing excess drugs such as IV bags and drug storage containers. To learn more about Colorado Medical Waste compliance, check out our blog post:

Biohazardous Waste Containers designed for the clinical setting
Would you have a cardboard box lined with a red bag sitting in your kitchen at home?
The answer to this question is ‘absolutely not’ and the reasons you would give are the same reasons we should be given at a heightened level for biohazardous and infectious wastes – odor, leakage, exposure risk to sharp objects and hygiene (contamination risk). At Daniels, we have designed a range of clinically designed container systems built in response to the needs of a clinical environment. Leakproof, penetration resistant, secure locking and hands-free operated without a red bag or cardboard box in sight!
Infection Prevention and Waste | A new paradigm
Rethinking how medical waste impacts the clinical environment
We talk about hand-hygiene, we talk about “touches” and the spread of infection, what we don’t talk about is the impact waste in a patient environment has on infection control. Bins being wheeled from ICU through to a loading dock, static containers that never undergo high-pressure wash or sanitization, open-lidded bins inpatient wards. At Daniels, we are rethinking what clinical means when it comes to sharps disposal, pharmaceutical waste security,and medical waste management

Let’s Talk About Colorado
Colorado means, “colored red” and it’s not hard to see how this stunning western state got its name. World-class skiing, breath-taking mountains, canyons and desert make the “Centennial State” one of the best Uncle Sam has to offer. With over 85 million visitors a year, Colorado is one of the country’s most popular destinations. If you fly into the capital Denver, “Blucifer” is there to greet you, standing 32 feet tall, the Blue Mustang with red glowing neon eyes is meant to represent the “wild spirit of the old American West.” When in Denver pay a visit to Red Rocks Amphitheater, have brunch at Brown Palace where presidents and the Beatles have dined. Check out the retro theme park Lakeside and sample one of Elvis’s favorite snacks, the Fools Gold Loaf. 
In the southwest, the Mesa Verde National Park occupies 52,000 acres of the Colorado Plateau and is a world Heritage site, established to preserve nearly 5,000 archaeological sites including 600 ancient Pueblo cliff dwellings. In the south, plan a visit to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, where you can slide down Star Dune, chill out by Medano Lake and trek to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Southeast in Baca, the Comanche National Grassland has spectacular Native American rock art and 1,300 dinosaur footprints on the Picketwire track.
Adventure seekers pass through Aurora, the “Gateway to the Rockies,” and make their way up to the mountains. The Rocky Mountains are the birthplace of the most popular river in the US. Arkansas River is a must for white water rafting. Get those hiking boots on and hit the Colorado Trail spanning more than 500 miles, cross the peaks of the Rocky Mountains or climb Coney Summit, which is 13,334 feet above sea level. Sleep under the stars in Black Canyon, part of Gunnison National Park or head to Hanging Lake in the Glenwood Canyon suspended at the edge of the cliffs. Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs is an absolute paradise on earth. If you’re passing through Estes Park, a stay at the Stanley Hotel is a must, just avoid room 217, its paranormal activity is said to have inspired Stephen King to write “The Shining.”
