Regulated waste requirements are mandated at the state and local levels, but OSHA has created standards for handling blood borne pathogens that apply and should be followed. Following these guidelines ensures the safety of employees, patients, and the environment.

As far as regulated medical waste is concerned, there are six separate categories:

Cultures and Stocks of Infectious Agents

Also known as microbiological waste, this type of waste is generated from research or clinical laboratory procedures involving communicable infectious agents.

Pathological Waste

Human body parts, organs, tissues, and anatomical wastes.

Human Blood and Blood Products

Any blood or blood byproduct (serum, plasma, etc.) plus any bodily fluids that are visually contaminated with blood, or fluids where it might be difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluids and blood.

Contaminated Sharps

If an item can pierce or prick the skin and has been used in a medical procedure (with humans or animals), medical research, or an industrial laboratory setting, it is considered a medical sharp and requires careful disposal.

Contaminated Animal Carcasses, Body Parts, and Bedding

Procedures where animals are intentionally exposed to pathogens during research, biologicals production, or in vivo pharmaceutical testing produce regulated waste.

Isolation Waste

Any waste that has been potentially contaminated with a highly communicable disease is regulated waste. This waste is generated by patients or animals who have been isolated to prevent the spread of their infection.
