Bins & Refuse Management

Waste volumes will increase because of higher use of personal protective equipment (PPEs) such as gloves, face masks and other materials including paper tissues. To manage waste volumes, an adequate volume of waste bins should be available in the workplace, if possible, at every individual desk or commom area.
Provide tissues and waste bins lined with a plastic bags so that they can be emptied without contact to the contents.
Pedal-operated waste collection bins can be used, so that a ‘no touch’ with hands rule applies. In the absence of pedal-operated waste bins, bins with swinging lids can be opted as the alternative. Otherwise, open waste containers are better than those which require physical opening/touching with hands. Colour-coded waste segregation bins are also available. Waste bin liners should also be considered for every bin present.

Empty bins regularly and provide advice on good respiratory practice.
