Abstract :
Biomedical waste management has recently
emerged as an issue of major concern not only to hospital,
nursing home authorities but also to the environment.
World Health Organization states that 85% of hospital
wastes are actually non-hazardous where as 10% are
infectious and 5% are non-infectious but they are
included in hazardous wastes. OBJECTIVES : To assess
the pre-existing knowledge regarding segregation and
handling in biomedical wastages, plan a structured
teaching programme on segregation and handling in
biomedical wastages and to assess the post existing
knowledge regarding segregation and handling in
biomedical wastages. METHODOLOGY: Research
design is Non experimental qualitative research design
and the approach is Descriptive approach .RESULTS:
Majority ten (33.3%) workers are says that infectious
waste or hazard materials that may harm people, (36.7%)
are says that all the above are the hazard of biomedical
waste and eighteen (60%) peoples are says that all the
above are the collect and dispose. Majority twenty two
(73.4%) are workers says that all the above are the major
colors code used in biomedical waste management.
