Résumé

These Regulations lay down rules for proper handling, storage, treatment, transport and disposal of medical waste; preventive measures against leakage, spillage, contamination or improper handling of medical waste for the protection of public health and safety; sorting the different types of medical waste; conditions for trade licensing of a business that is a generator of medical waste; and offences and penalties. These Regulations shall apply to any generator of medical waste; any transporter of medical waste; and any other relevant person. A generator of medical waste is obliged to have in place a system to ensure the proper handling, storage, treatment and disposal of medical waste. The requirements of the system are listed in Regulation 5, including but not limited to: methods of treatment and disposal of medical waste; mechanisms for proper recording and tracking of medical waste and for quick reporting of contamination; and an emergency plan that addresses emergencies caused by contamination. The obligations imposed by these Regulations shall be in addition to those imposed by the Hazardous Waste Regulations and any other law in force in Belize. These Regulations shall be administered and enforced by the Chief Environment Officer and the Department of the Environment.
