Edit Clinical Waste Code - Orange

<p><strong>For providers of any surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures, the colour orange has another meaning – clinical and infectious waste</strong>.</p> <p>According to the Department of Health’s Safe Management of Healthcare Waste Memorandum, best practice waste segregation is performed with the use of a colour coding scheme. Applicable to both hazardous and non-hazardous waste, this system ensures all waste substances, equipment and instruments are suitably segregated and then disposed of safely and effectively.</p> <p>Segregation is necessary in order to prevent cross contamination and ensure items are disposed of in the correct manner, according to what they have been used for and how high an infection risk they pose for both the professional teams, the public and the environment. Each category of waste material is designated a colour to make this segregation easier and more efficient, and the system should be applied in cosmetic clinics. The type and colour of waste container used will vary depending on the clinical or infectious waste produced.</p>
