Biomedical Waste Management is a critical component of healthcare safety and environmental protection. It focuses on the systematic handling, segregation, treatment, and disposal of waste generated during medical, diagnostic, therapeutic, and research activities. Effective biomedical waste management minimizes the risk of infection transmission, prevents environmental contamination, and ensures compliance with national and international regulatory standards. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of best practices and legal frameworks governing biomedical waste management across healthcare settings.

The scope of this course extends across hospitals, clinics, laboratories, research institutions, pharmaceutical facilities, and allied healthcare environments. It covers the complete biomedical waste lifecycle—from generation and segregation to storage, transportation, treatment, and final disposal. The course emphasizes regulatory compliance, occupational safety, infection control, environmental sustainability, and quality assurance, making it relevant for both clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Understand the classification and categories of biomedical waste

• Apply correct segregation, color-coding, and labeling practices

• Implement safe handling, storage, and transportation procedures
