Biohazards ( Bulk Blood, Body fluids and tissue ) are a Regulated Medical Waste according to State and Federal Law. All Biohazards must be placed in properly marked containers with a red bag liner to prevent leaking during transport. The waste must then be transported to a Licensed Type V destruction facility for processing.
The reason most companies choose not to get this License in because it is very difficult. The application process typically takes 6 to 12 months. You must have a Dedicated Transport Vehicle that complies with all State Laws, and you must show proof that you have a 1 Million Dollar Pollution Insurance Policy. This Insurance is required by the State of Texas in the event of a spill of Medical Waste on a public roadway. The State wants to make sure the Company has the means to get it cleaned up quickly and safely to open the road to use again. Although this is a rare occurrence, it recently did happen near Austin and the road was shut down for several hours while the clean up crew was picking up the Biohazard Waste from the road and the grass median.
When dealing with Biohazards everyone should use Universal Precautions and appropriate PPE at a minimum.
We at USA Decon choose to follow All State and Federal laws that pertain to our Industry. We do not try to avoid Licensing and Permits through loopholes in the system.
