Need for Bar Code System
Bar code system would help in accounting the quantity of biomedical waste being collected, treated and disposed. This system would also help the prescribed authorities in monitoring the implementation of BMWM Rules, 2016. The benefits of Bar code system are summarised below;
(i) Tracking of biomedical waste from source of generation to intended destination for final treatment and disposal;
(ii) Daily check on the Occupier, transporter (involved in transportation of bio-medical waste within HCF as well as transportation of bio-medical waste from HCF to the CBWTF premises) and Operator of a CBWTF;
(iii) Preventing pilferage of bio-medical waste at HCFs as well as during transportation of waste from HCF to the CBWTF;
(iv) Keeping record of visits made by CBWTF to the member HCFs for collection of waste;
(v) Identification of source of generation of bio-medical waste in case waste is disposed of improperly;
(vi) Creates real time online monitoring of waste generation, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal; and
(vii) Quantification of bio-medical waste generated, colour coding-wise waste handed over to the CBWTF operator by the Occupier and waste collected daily by the Operator of a
CBWTF from the member HCFs for further treatment and disposal.
