Dear Mr. Dipil, thank you for your comment. Before I could write something about the color coding of disposable bags, I see that Mr. Bhosale has already covered it.
A few additional points that he did not mention, which I would like to highlight, are that for industries with a Medical Inspection (MI) Room or Occupational Health Centre (OHC), all four colored bags are essential. However, if it is only a matter of disposing of dressing materials occasionally, then only yellow-colored bags are required. It is recommended to use a waste bin with a lid, preferably foot-operated, and line the inner side of the bin with these bags.
Daily disposal should be handled with care by the handler wearing gloves, and these bags should be incinerated (burned) afterward.
These standards are in line with international guidelines adopted by the Pollution Control Board of India, specifically for the disposal of biomedical waste. This is a significant issue as hospitals are facing numerous challenges due to strict regulations from the PCB regarding hospital waste disposal. Biomedical waste must not be mixed with general waste as it poses a serious health hazard.
The rest of the color coding information aligns with what Mr. Bhosale has mentioned.
