When waste isn’t sorted properly, workers on the receiving end face hidden dangers that can result in serious illness. From medical waste in general trash to contaminated food, blood-soaked materials, or even animal carcasses, biohazards pose major health risks to sorters and sanitation workers.
Common outcomes of biohazard exposure include:
– Hepatitis B or C and HIV exposure from sharp objects or bodily fluids
– Respiratory infections from airborne pathogens
– Gastrointestinal illness from contaminated food waste
– Long-term complications tied to toxic mold, fungi, or bacteria
Improper sorting doesn’t just endanger workers it also creates major compliance and liability issues for your clients.
