Legalities in Hospital Liquid Waste Management

liquid waste treatment

In the movement for environmental safety and public health, the legal framework plays a pivotal role. Today, we see countries framing strict laws governing biomedical and hospital liquid waste management and treatment, with a hefty price for non compliance. These regulations are not just bureaucratic red tape. They protect the public health, environment and advocate for a sustainable future.

EPA (Environmental Protection Agency of USA), CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board of India), MOE (Ministry of the Environment in Japan), Department of Water Sanitation (in South Africa), and AWA (Australian Water Association) are some global organizations ensuring healthcare facilities adhere to stringent standards. 

What is the cost of violation?

License revocation, heavy fines, lawsuits, criminal charges, imprisonment, reputation damage and lawsuits. The significance of inefficiency decides the severity of the consequences. 

While a combination of national and international laws are being implemented to regulate wastewater treatment and discharge from healthcare facilities, monitoring the process might often be cumbersome.

Our chemical free and microbe free systems ensure that legalities are no longer an issue while also providing a sustainable solution for every healthcare facility.
