WHAT IS BMW ?
 It is defined as “any waste, which is generated during the
diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or
animals or research activities pertaining thereto or in the
production or testing of biological or in health camps,
including the categories mentioned in Schedule I appended
to BMW rules 2016”
 “Any solid and/or liquid waste including its container and
any intermediate product, which is generated during the
diagnosis, treatment or immunization of human beings or
animals”.

STEPS FOR EFFECTIVE BMW
MANAGEMENT

18
WASTE SURVEY
Waste survey is an important component of
the waste management scheme. A survey
helps in evaluation both the type and
quantity of waste generated in hospitals.
Aims:
• Differentiate the types of waste
• Quantify the waste generated
• Determine the points of generation &
type of waste generated at each point
• Determine the level of generation &
disinfection within the hospital
• To find out the type of disposal carried
out

19
 Segregation refers to the basic separation of different categories of waste
generated at source and thereby reducing the risks as well as cost of
handling and disposal.
 Segregation is the most crucial step in bio-medical waste management.
Effective segregation alone can ensure effective bio-medical waste
management.
 The BMWs must be segregated in accordance to guidelines laid down under
schedule 1 of BMW Rules, 2016.
SEGREGATION

20
•The collection of biomedical waste involves use of different types of container .
• The containers/ bins should be placed in such a way that 100 % collection is
achieved.
• Sharps must always be kept in puncture-proof containers to avoid injuries
and infection to the workers handling them.
COLLECTION

21
Once collection occurs then biomedical waste is stored in a proper place.
Segregated wastes of different categories need to be collected in identifiable
containers. The duration of storage should not exceed for 8-10 hrs in big
hospitals (more than 250 bedded) and 24 hrs in nursing homes. Each
container may be clearly labelled to show the ward or room where it is kept.
The reason for this labelling is that it may be necessary to trace the waste
back to its source. Besides this, storage area should be marked with a
caution sign.
STORAGE

22
TRANSPORT
Final Transport of BMW must be to CBMWTSDF only in authorized
vehicle with appropriate documentation for further record.

23
RECORD KEEPING
 MPCB Consent & Authorization.
 Formation of Committee to Establish a system to review and monitor the
activities related to bio-medical waste management & maintain the record.
 Documents of Tie-up with CBMWTSDF to safe dispose of BMW.
 Record of Pretreatment of BMW & Trade Effluent.
 Records of Training, Health Check up.
 Record of BMW generation & disposal through CBMWTSDF.
