New Normal | Hospital Waste Management
Infection Control and Hospital Waste Management.
A Smarter Approach
Daniels Health delivers hospital waste management solutions designed with infection prevention, clinical hygiene and staff safety at their core. Our clinically-driven model prioritizes risk reduction, contamination control and labour efficiency—right from the point of waste generation..
Proudly partnering with leading healthcare facilities across Canada, including London Health Sciences, William Osler Health System, Sick Kids and Health Sciences Centre, Daniels Health has transformed hospital waste management by enhancing safety, infection control, labour efficiencies and reducing risk and patient interruptions. Determined to solve the patient-care and labour challenges found in clinical environments, Daniels begins inside the four walls of healthcare — not at the loading dock, where it’s too late to make changes that impact costs, efficiencies or cross-contamination.

- Comprehensive waste segregation and education programs that drive results
- Smart tracking of waste movement, disposal practices and labour efficiencies

Why Canadian Hospitals Need a New Normal
With over 1.8 million hospital-acquired infections reported annually in North America, hospitals are under growing pressure to prioritise infection control at each level of the clinical environment. Biomedical waste management, the volume of patient interruptions, the cleanliness of bins and surfaces and the number of times waste is touched or handled, are all essential considerations of the modern hospital.
Working within Your Four Walls
A New Approach to Hospital Waste Management
In order to achieve our New Normal, it is imperative that we look at hospital waste management through a clinical lens. This includes everything from waste mapping and scrutiny of how many times waste is touched, to the implementation of clinically-engineered containment solutions that improve safety and reduce infections. As your service partner, you can count on Daniels Health to demonstrate a strong understanding of the hospital environment and provide solutions that optimize patient care.
