What are the biohazardous medical waste transportation vehicle regulations?
• Vehicles used for the transportation of biohazardous medical waste must have a secure, covered and leak-proof cargo compartment(s) constructed of non-porous material impervious to biohazardous medical waste, shall be operated in an approved sanitary manner, minimizing exposure to flies and other insects, spillage, odor, and without other hazard or danger to the public health, shall be cleaned frequently enough to prevent their becoming a public health nuisance, and shall be maintained in good repair. Biohazardous medical waste storage compartments in the vehicle shall not be open or exposed except during filling, emptying and cleaning. Vehicles shall be loaded and moved in such a manner that the contents are not exposed and do not fall, leak, spill or escape. If spillage does occur, it shall be carefully cleaned up and the area affected by the spill properly disinfected.
