Best practice guidelines for waste segregation require following the Department of Health’s colour code for different waste streams. This helps to ensure that waste items are correctly separated and disposed of in the most appropriate and least energy-intensive way possible.
To make the process easier for staff throughout the practice, consider putting up posters that remind individuals which waste items go where and why. This will not only enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of your waste management, but it will also help to protect your team, your patients, and the wider environment from harm.
Initial Medical offers a range of colour-coded waste posters, that are free to download from the website. These are designed to make waste management simple to understand and follow, providing an easy way to support staff in their responsibilities every day.
