Abstract:
Hospital waste is all waste, both solid and liquid, originating from medical and non-medical activities which are likely to contain microorganisms, toxic chemicals, and radioactivity. The trend of increasing the amount of medical waste generation occurs in all countries in the world. The normal generation of medical waste is around 40 tons/day. Health workers in hospitals are vulnerable to risks associated with medical waste management. Unsafe behavior related to medical waste can occur due to lack of knowledge, awareness, and attitudes related to medical waste management, not complying with the use of PPE, not using facilities, and not being careful at work.
