Waste Disposal

Reliable and simple service solutions for Biomedical Waste Management

 

With safety at the forefront of its solutions, more acute and non-acute healthcare facilities are choosing Daniels for customer-focused and cost-effective Biomedical waste services. 

Given the potential infectious nature of medical waste, stringent regulations govern its collection, transport and disposal. Biomedical waste (also known as yellow bag waste, biohazardous waste, medical or infectious waste) is, according to Canadian law, the responsibility of the generator from point of disposal, right through to final treatment. With over 30 years experience in healthcare, Daniels has the solutions, licensing and compliance expertise to protect the safety risk exposure and regulatory responsibilities of healthcare facilities in the total management of all medical waste streaems. 

 

We are not a yellow biohazardous bag waste company

There are companies out there that boast the most durable yellow bags or plastic tubs in the market. We’re not that company. Why? Because we believe in a world where biomedical waste containers are designed to an appropriate standard of safety and compliance that bags are not required! Containers that are leakproof, puncture-proof and able to be permanently locked to avert security risks. It was the hard way to go about building a business (engineering the world’s safest medical waste containers with UN certified ratings is a bit more of an undertaking than manufacturing a more rigid bag!) but from a safety standpoint, it’s the right way.

 

We help you eliminate biohazardous bags

Once upon a time, biomedical waste in Canada was given the nickname “yellow bag waste”, but thankfully the myth that bags are an acceptable containment for infectious waste, is now disappearing. Quite simply, they are not sustainable, they are not safe (stories are replete of healthcare workers or cleaners getting stuck by a wrongly discarded sharp, or being exposed to spilled infectious substances), and they add an unnecessary cost to the healthcare supply chain.

Daniels impact on efficiency...

Switching to Medismart saved our organization nearly $13,000. We also reduced the non-productive time that my staff had been spending switching over disposable sharps containers, and the number of trips for one of my staff members to pick up biomedical containers, by 50%. That allowed us to focus more on the cleaning of the hospital in other areas.

FAQ's

How does the Medismart reduce infection transfer?
Using a foot-pedal opening mechanism and bagless system means hand contact with the biomedical waste container is no longer required. This no-touch alternative results in a dramatic reduction in the infection transfer risk that currently exists using standard medical waste containers. The Medismart reusable system ensures that once full, each container is removed from your premises, emptied, and then subjected to a rigorous 6-stage robotic wash and decontamination process that eliminates challenge organisms and proves a 6 Log (99.9999%) reduction in bacterial load.
How does Daniels maximise cost efficiencies for its customers?
Medical waste management cost efficiencies derived from the successful deployment of five key elements. At Daniels Health we work closely with our customers to ensure that all healthcare staff are protected, trained and equipped, that medical waste and sharps disposal containers achieve the highest grade of safety, segregation and usability, and that the facilities' risk profile is managed. All of these elements combined achieve significant reduction in waste management costs.
What Daniels solutions minimise biomedical waste volumes?
The Daniels Medismart medical waste container is the first medical system in the world which actively protects against infection risk and proactively assists in positive medical waste segregation. A peer reviewed study conducted in a Sydney based hospital demonstrated the Medismart achieving biomedical waste mass reduction of 53.2% and biomedical waste volume reduction of 65.2%.
