What's differences b/w 1998/2011/2016 BMW Rules?

BMW (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2011 BMW Management Rules, 2016 Word Handling Handling word omitted Management’ includes Handling Not cover these Cover healthcare activity undertaken outside the healthcare facility: vaccination camps, blood donation camps, surgical camps or any other ----- Additional Duties of occupier Added: Provision of safe, ventilated and secured location for storage of segregated BMW Pre-treat the laboratory waste, microbiological waste, blood samples and blood bags through disinfection or sterilisation on-site as per WHO or NACO guidelines & then sent to CBMWFs Phase out use of chlorinated plastic bags, gloves and blood bags within two years of notification of rule

BMW (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998, 2011 BMW Management Rules, 2016 ------ Additional Duties of occupier Added: Immunise all its HCP and others involved in handling of BMW for protection against diseases including Hepatitis B & Tetanus Establish a Bar- Code System for bags or containers Report major accidents including accidents caused by fire hazards, blasts during handling of BMW -------- Operator of CBMWFs Ensure timely collection of BMW from HCFs, assist the HCFs in conduct of training ------- Not to establish on-site treatment & disposal facility if a service of CBMWFs available at a distance of 75Km

BMW (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011 BMW Management Rules, 2016 8 category (10 in 1998 Rule) 4 category No storage beyond 48 hrs Permission required to be taken Untreated human anatomical waste, animal anatomical waste, soiled waste and, biotechnology waste shall not be stored beyond a period of 48 hrs In case for any reason it becomes necessary to store such waste beyond such a period, the occupier shall take appropriate measures to ensure that the waste does not adversely affect human health & environment Inform the SPCB along with reasons Hospitals treating ≥ 1000 patients/month to obtain authorization from SPCBs/PCCs One time Authorisation for Non-bedded HCFs. Validity of authorization shall be synchronised with validity of consent orders for Bedded HCFs

BMW (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011 BMW Management Rules, 2016 To strengthen advisory committee of Government of every State/Union Territory- Additional members added 150 mg/nm3 1 sec ...Nil.. Emission standards Incineration SPM in Incinerator’s Emission 50 mg/nm3 Residence Time in Secondary chamber of incinerators =2 Sec Standards for Dioxin and furans 1% Chemical Treatment 10% sodium Hypochlorite Black color Cytotoxic waste in Yellow Blue/ white bags Sharp 2 types

Final disposal Modalities: Thermal Processes High Temperature Processes Incineration Pyrolysis Plasma Technology Gasification Non-Burn/Low-Temperature Treatments Autoclave Hydroclave Microwave Dry heat Steam auger (waste is shredded prior to t/t)

Modalities: Chemical Disinfection

Incinerator Incineration is a high heat system process of burning combustible solids at very high temperature in a furnace. Burning of waste material in 10 Chamber stages (850±500C) Followed by combustion of gases in 20Chamber (1050±500C) Cleaning of flue gas through a number of pollution control devices End product is devoid of infectious organisms Not to be done: Burning of Plastic waste & Sharp -

AUTOCLAVE Gravity displacement type – Operates at Not<121°C at 15psi for not < 60 minutes Pre vacuum type Vacuum pumps are utilized to evacuate air in the chamber of autoclave Steam under pressure is pushed Operates at Not<121°C at 15psi for not < 45 minutes Not<135°C at 31psi for not < 30 minutes Not Recommended for pathological Waste

Hydroclave Expansions of Autoclave Steam sterilization technology Steam Introduced into hollow walls of hydroclave Steam does not come in contact with waste Volume & Weight Reduction much more than autoclave Cycle time 1 hr

Use electromagnetic waves 300-300,000 MHz Radiation produced by microwave break molecular chemical bonds Heat up waste material from inside, unlike the external heat given in autoclave & hydro clave Work at temp 97-100 0C Cycle time 40-45 min Not to be used with Body parts & tissue

Deep Burial Pit A pit or trench 2m deep 1/2 with waste, then covered with lime within 50 cm of surface, before filling the rest of pit with soil On each occasion, when wastes are added to pit, layer of 10 cms of soil shall be added to cover the wastes Ensure that animals do not have any access to burial site Covers of galvanized iron / wire meshes Should be distant from habitation Should be relatively impermeable & no shallow well should be close to the site. Burial must be performed under close & dedicated supervision

Sharp Pit Dug according to the requirement of hospital All sides of the pit should be plastered with cement A cylindrical metal pipe of 4 inches diameter or more is fixed at the ceiling of the pit The opening of the metal pipe should have locking facility The sharps are deposited in this pit through the pipe from the puncture proof translucent container after mutilating.

Building a protected sharp Barrel

Do’s FOR WASTE M/M Generate waste when essential Segregate waste at source into specified categories of waste with biohazard logo Mutilate waste at source if possible to prevent unauthorized reuse Destroy needle by using needle cutter or needle burner Keep the needles in puncture proof, translucent container Clean the bins regularly with soap & water and disinfect the bins regularly. All liquid chemical waste should be drained out in to ETP

Don’ts Do not generate waste unnecessary (e.g. avoid injection by prescribing oral medicines) Never mix infectious & non- infectious waste Never mix chlorinated wastes with such wastes those which have designated for incineration. Never overfill the bins. Never store waste beyond 48 hrs. There should not be any spillage on the way of transport.

Don’ts Avoid transport of waste through crowded areas Do not throw infectious waste into general waste without any pre- treatment and mutilation Don’t dispose the solid waste (plastic) and sharp waste without mutilation

Q1: How much percentage of waste will come under biomedical waste? 5% 15-20% 25-30% 85%

Q2: Nursing sister finds expired chemotherapeutic drugs stored in glass ampoules in RCC ward. She tells the sister in charge to dispose those expired drugs . The sister in-charge is confused regarding the disposal . Suggest the appropriate BMW management Chemotherapeutic drugs has to be disposed into red bag Chemotherapeutic drugs being in a glass ampoule dispose in a puncture proof box Chemotherapeutic drugs has to be disposed in black bag Chemotherapeutic drugs has to be disposed in yellow bag

Blood sample has to be discarded in yellow bag Q 3: There was a blood sample from a HIV pateint. The lab personnel wanted to discard the blood in a safe manner. Tell the appropriate BMW management Blood sample has to be discarded in yellow bag Blood sample has to be pretreated with 10% sodium hypochlorite and then disposed Blood samples should be autoclaved and then disposed. Both b and c are correct methods of disposal

Yes , as the right chemical pretreatment is 10% sodium hypochlorite Q4: A TB patient coming to mycobacteriology lab gives a sputum sample for drug susceptibility testing. The lab personnel after processing the sputum sample discards the sample into 10 % sodium hypochlorite. Is this the appropriate method of disposal? Yes , as the right chemical pretreatment is 10% sodium hypochlorite No, 5% lyzol should be used. No, 5% phenol should be used. No pretreatment required as it has to be disposed in the sewage effluent plant .

Q5: According to rules 2016, the BMW management should be done Inside the hospital campus Outsource it if the disposal site is within 125km radius from the hospital Outsource it if the disposal site is within 75km radius from the hospital Can be stored and disposed after a month to the outsourcing unit

Q6: Which among these waste is not included under biomedical waste? a. expired medicines b. Laboratory cultures c. Lead acid batteries d. e- waste e. Both c and d

Q7:Bags used for the BMW management should be Plastic/ chlorinated Plastic/ nonchlorinated Plastic/ flurinated Nonplastic/ nonchlorinated
