Other red bags also may be used if they meet or exceed the construction standards required by Chapter 64E-16, of the Florida Administrative Code.Ĭhapter 64E-16, of the Florida Administrative Code, instructs biomedical waste facilities in providing training to personnel whose responsibilities include some aspect of managing biomedical waste. The department also has produced lists of commercial biomedical waste treatment facilities and red bags for biomedical waste containment that meet the standards of Chapter 64E-16, of the Florida Administrative Code.

The department has established parameters for the safe handling and treatment of biomedical waste in Chapter 64E-16, of the Florida Administrative Code (60kb PDF). Guidance from the Department of Health relative to biomedical waste management assists facilities in ensuring proper identification, segregation, containment, storage, and labeling of biomedical waste. However, the approximately 12,000 generating facilities that produce less than 25 pounds of biomedical waste in each 30-day period of the year are exempt from from the permit fee, and are inspected once every three years. About 30,000 such facilities are inspected annually.

Additional funding is provided through the annual registration of biomedical waste transporters and the annual permitting of storage and treatment facilities plus those generating facilities that produce at least 25 pounds of biomedical waste in any 30-day period of the year. The 1993 Florida Legislature provided funding for the Biomedical Waste Program from the Solid Waste Management Trust Fund.
A model biomedical waste operating plan (38kb PDF) is available to assist facilities in documenting their procedures for management of biomedical waste. Section 381.0098, Florida Statutes and Chapter 64E-16, of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC)(60kb PDF), provides guidance to facilities that generate biomedical waste to aid them in ensuring proper management of that waste. When biomedical waste is improperly managed, it places health care workers, sanitation workers, and the general public at risk for contracting dangerous diseases. The Department of Health has primary authority and responsibility for facilities that generate, transport, store, or treat biomedical waste through processes other than incineration.
The Department of Environmental Protection has primary responsibility for biomedical waste incineration and final disposal. The objective of the biomedical waste program is to protect health care workers, environmental health staff, biomedical waste transporters, and the general public from risks associated with potentially infectious biomedical waste.īoth the Department of Health and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have responsibilities under this program. These include hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, laboratories, funeral homes, dentists, veterinarians, physicians, pharmacies that provide flu shots, body piercing salons, tattoo shops, transporters, and storage and treatment facilities. There are approximately 44,000 facilities in Florida that generate biomedical waste.
