Chemical and Waste Management: Discuss the packaging of regulated waste for transport.
(Dental Assistant Related Chapter 23)

Regulate waste and nonregulated waste are generated in dental office. Regulated Waste are defined as the waste that includes infectious waste and chemical//hazardous waste. For example: disposable needles, dental burs, scalpel blades and Human tissue  etcetera.

Packaging of regulated waste for transport require a suitable regulated medical waste container that should be reusable with color-coding that represents the waste. Then the container is folded into a red biohazard bag,  labeling that the waste is biohazardous. No waste should throw directly in red bag. Then the staff needs to make a strong knot to prevent any leakage from the bag using gloves. The bag is then kept in a transport container and again checked for  the appropriate labeling as per the federal, state and local requirements in the outer box.
