Hygiene control in standard waste disposal works.

Standard waste disposal works are subject to a continuous hygiene control. As a rule, deposited waste is not inert, i.e. substances can be extracted, which in certain quantities and concentrations must be considered as a source of danger to the water. Inflammable, explosive and health endangering gases are formed. The following must be controlled: groundwater in the area surrounding the disposal site, development of odour from the disposal site, appearance of vermins and noise resulting from the waste disposal works. Waste disposal must clearly be viewed critically from the aspect of waste management control, however, in future it will not be possible to manage without a standard waste disposal system. Hygiene control must represent a fixed component in the waste disposal works.

A disposable bedpan system using an improved disposal unit and self-supporting bedpans.

A system using totally disposable self-supporting bedpans requiring no carrier was examined in use in two hospitals. The bedpans and their contents were disposed of by destruction and flushing to waste carried out in a modified Haigh Sluicemaster disposal unit. This incorporates a positively closing and locking lid with refinements to avoid the lid slamming and has effective safety devices. The new bedpans and the improved disposal units reduce the risk of transfer and dispersal of pathogenic organisms to an acceptable level in ward and sluice room.
