Overview<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Alabama\u2019s medical waste disposal regulations are managed by the Department of Environmental Management Land Division. The complete detailed disposal requirements are outlined in Medical\u00a0Waste Program Regulations, Division 17.<\/p>\n

OSHA Regulations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition to the state medical waste environmental regulations there are some Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules that apply to medical\/infectious waste. Alabama is one of 26 states covered entirely by the federal OSHA program. OSHA rules (Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens Standards) impact various aspects of medical\/infectious waste, including management of sharps, requirements for containers that hold or store medical\/infectious waste, labeling of medical\/infectious waste bags\/containers, and employee training.<\/p>\n
