Oklahoma Medical Waste Disposal Guidelines 


The city also attracts a different type of visitor; it is now considered a “medical tourist destination,” thanks to a different method of healthcare delivery, one that advocates the practice of “free market” medicine. A natural by-product of the healthcare system is medical waste. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, Oklahoma State Department of Health and OSHA oversee this waste. According to their regulations, anything containing an “etiologic agent,” or “infectious substance” is to be treated as medical waste. Storage of biohazardous waste follows OSHA’s federal regulations, given Oklahoma doesn’t have its own specific requirements. When it comes to sharps, all facilities are required to use FDA approved sharps disposal containers to reduce the risk of needlesticks and punctures.

 

For hospitals, the Oklahoma State Department of Health states an “Infection Control Program” must be in place to safeguard their sanitary environment while mitigating the source or transmission of infection, part of this program should clearly state:

  • Safety procedures
  • Management of waste streams
  • Segregation requirements
  • Removal and disposal procedures of medical waste

Let's Talk about Oklahoma

The “Sooner State” is a picturesque juxtaposition of rolling green hills to the east and golden, flat plains to the west. Peppered by lakes, rivers and small towns, which epitomize Oklahoma’s charm.

 

With strong ties to the old west, today Oklahoma is a mix of history and modernism with oilrigs and red soil co-existing with cosmopolitan cities brimming with modern, galleries and museums. However to truly explore this state, nothing beats a road trip on America’s most iconic highway - Route 66 and depending on the time of year, there will always be a town along the way with something to do or see. Oklahomans love to celebrate, playing host to festivals and events that attract visitors from all over the US and the world. The “Dogwood Days Festival” happens every spring in Idabel, to celebrate the pink and white blooms of thousands of dogwood trees and in April Muskogee comes alive with the annual “Azalea Festival.” Indie music lovers flock to Norman for the “Norman Music Festival,” featuring over 100 live bands and music acts, Pryor hosts “Rocklahoma” a hard rock music festival and for bucking broncos don’t miss the “Bartlesville Round-Up Club” rodeo.

Foodies can feast at the “Fried Onion Burger Day Festival” in El Reno, while watching a 750 lb. burger being made or “Oktoberfest” in Tulsa, which has been named as one of the top 10 places in the world to celebrate this event outside of Germany. For families the “Festival of Light” is popular during the holidays, where 3 million lights illuminate the Shannon Springs Park in Chickasha or the “Christmas Kingdom” in Castleton Village where you can take a pony ride or make your own Christmas ornament in Santa’s Workshop. The capital, Oklahoma City plays host to the “The Oklahoma State Fair,” drawing over 1 million people each September for its food and festivities. Equally as popular is the “Gazette Halloween Parade.”

Waste Classification

“Regulated medical waste” means a waste or reusable material that contains an etiologic agent and is generated in the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals; research pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or animals; or the production or testing of biological products. The types of waste are specifically defined as:

  • Cultures and stocks
  • Human blood, blood products, and human body fluids, except urine or feces
  • Pathological wastes consisting of human tissues, organs, and body parts removed during medical procedures.
  • Untreated sharps and used blood collection bags, tubes, and vials
  • Items contaminated with blood or other human body fluids which drip freely or would release such materials in a liquid or semi-liquid state if compressed or are caked with dried blood or body fluids and are capable of releasing these materials.
  • Isolation wastes unless determined to be non-infectious by the infection control committee at the health care facility.

Storage Requirements

Oklahoma state requirements mandate:

Regulated medical waste processing facilities must meet the following storage standards for RMW:

  • All waste must be processed or placed into refrigerated storage, at 45 degrees F, within 24 hours of delivery.
  • If processing has not occurred within 96 hours, waste shall be transported to an alternate permitted site.
