Importance of Medical Waste Manifests
As a healthcare facility or other regulated medical waste generator, it is essential you are keeping proper records for your medical waste disposal to maintain compliance with California medical waste requirements.
Under cradle to grave requirements, you are responsible for your medical waste from the point of generation to the point of final disposal and there are records you must retain to stay compliant with local and federal regulations.
What are Medical Waste Manifest Details?
Think of medical waste manifests as a document which tracks or records the full disposal process for your infectious wastes up until the final point of disposal.
When your medical waste disposal company collects your medical waste disposal containers, they should provide you with tracking documents.
How Long Do I Need to Retain My Manifest Documents?
In California, you should retain these records for two to three years depending on what type of generator you are.
Since requirements vary from state to state, you should always consult state resources or contact a medical waste disposal company to ensure you are acting in compliance.
With Eco Medical, you can access these documents inside of our online compliance software.
You should also keep records of all training and certifications among your staff.
