Segregation is a key step in biohazard disposal. Waste should be categorized based on its type and potential hazard:
- Sharps: Needles, blades, and broken glass should be disposed of in designated sharps containers. - Pathological waste: Tissues and organs should be placed in leak-proof, double-bagged containers. - Chemical waste: Stains and reagents should be disposed of according to their specific Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).
