Biomedical Waste
Introduction | >Next
Disposal of biomedical waste is regulated by two agencies in Florida.
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulates medical waste incinerators and final disposal of treated medical wastes.
The Department of Health (DOH) regulates treatment methods, other than incineration, and commercial facilities that produce, transport, or store biomedical waste under the authority of Chapter 64E-16 of the Florida Administrative Code (FAC).
All commercial facilities that produce sharps or other biomedical waste are required to obtain an annual permit from the County Health Department of jurisdiction. Biomedical waste handling procedures are reviewed to assure proper identification, segregation, containment, storage, labeling, and disposal of Biomedical Waste.
