What You Need to Look for in Medical Waste Disposal Services
Medical wastes produced by health care facilities, present a constant danger to the people and the environment of infection or other hazard. Luckily, medical waste disposal services are typically only one phone call made or email sent to ensure that we are not harmed in any way by these wastes.
When looking for medical waste disposal services, there are a few things that you need to consider before hiring one.
- Do They Provide the Exact Service That You Need?
Not all medical waste companies provide the same list of services. Some deal with sharps waste, some more with radioactive waste, others only do transportation, while some do everything involved in medical waste management from pickup to disposal.
Be sure, therefore, to visit the company’s website, especially their About Us page to learn what services they provide.
- Are they insured, licensed and approved by OSHA, FDA, DOH and EPA?
Medical waste disposal companies must adhere to several state and federal regulations in order to be able to offer their services to customers. Be sure that they have those as well as that they are licensed against any potential incidents that might occur.
This especially goes for OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), DOH (Department of Health) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations and if the medical waste disposal company is approved by these organizations.
- What is their price?
Medical waste disposal services are hired by health care facilities because it would otherwise be too expensive for these to maintain their own facilities for this purpose.
However, with that in mind, it’s a mistake to look for the cheapest medical waste management company there is, as these often don’t provide the best service or their low price might be a way to cover up some hidden fees. Suffice to say, stay clear of such companies and don’t work with them.
- How is their staff?
Would you go to a store, or bank, a second time knowing that their personnel is unfriendly or even rude? The same goes for medical waste management companies as well.
The quality of the service is often proportional to the friendliness of the staff, so be sure to only work with those medical waste disposal companies whose employees are friendly and helpful.
- Is the contract simple or complicated?
There is more that you can learn from a contract than simply how much you are going to pay for the services of the medical waste disposal company you hire. A short and simple contract usually means that this company is not concerned with every little detail. On the other hand, big, say hundred page contracts, typically hides in themselves a number of hidden fees and legal jargon.
