Maximize Cost Savings at Daniels
Daniels is a reliable waste management partner that can reduce costs and improve labor efficiencies.
Increasing labor costs, price surges, and unreliable supply chains– Sound familiar?
Between price surges, needlestick injuries and improper waste segregation medical waste management can be incredibly costly.
Our Secure Supply Chain
Over the last year blockages of major trade routes and global shortages of single-use plastic containers have shown that a reliable supply chain has never been more important to healthcare. With a national servicing infrastructure, we provide a secure approach to healthcare waste management though our patented reusable waste containers. Our reliable and consistent service-based model allows Daniels to provide on-time service and prevent any price-surging.
What is the average cost of a needlestick injury?
In the US, the estimated cost of a single needlestick injury (NSI) treatment ranges between US $500 to US $3,000. These costs, however, do not account for long-term treatment costs associated with illness contracted from the injury or litigation and compensation costs. According to the American Hospital Association, one case of serious infection by blood borne pathogens can cost US $1 million or more in expenditures for testing, follow-up tests, lost time, and disability payments1. Leveraging these costs, the annual economic burden of NSIs in the US was estimated to be between US$118 million to US$591 million (based on national occurrence of 236,000 cases)2 For the more serious cases, however, the costs can far exceed the average.
Proper Waste Segregation
Effective Medical Waste Segregation is an essential step in optimizing costs in medical waste disposal. Daniels Health provides expertise within each facility we work with to train clinical and non-clinical staff, provide e-learning courses and educational resources, and empower cognitive behavioral change in the safe disposal and correct segregation of all healthcare waste streams.
In addition to this, when it comes to your healthcare waste removal or disposal, compliance is key. Daniels Health is here to help guide you through the often-confusing mass of federal and state regulations when it comes to waste segregation, waste stream management, and healthcare waste management methodologies.
Daniels Cost Variables: Containers
As reusability is an integral part of our environmental commitment, we invest 100% into retaining containers as company assets. All containers installed into customer facilities globally are owned by Daniels Health; we do not impose costs on our customers for purchase or transfer of ownership. This model ensures that our quality control measures are upheld to the highest standards of excellence and our customers are charged only for the use of containers and the waste volumes generated.

Daniels Cost Variables: Containers Washed
A key feature of the Daniels Health reusable system is our full circle commitment to achieve the highest standards of microbiological efficacy in the cleaning of our containers. Our state-of-the-art robotic washline process has been independently tested by coating containers with blood suspensions of Staph.Aureus and E.Faecalis; on swabbing them after the wash, no challenge organisms were detected and a 6-log reduction was achieved. Our process achieves an incredibly high level of decontamination.
Daniels Cost Variables: Service
At Daniels Health we align ourselves as an ongoing partner with our customers rather than simply a product or service provider; we work with facilities to optimize their waste mapping and waste management processes and ensure the highest standards of safe and waste segregation are reached. There are a number of variables that dictate the services delivered by Daniels to an individual facility, these are determined by volume of waste generated, current facility practices, staffing norms, pickup frequencies and waste competencies. One of the key variables is the labor component; whether services are carried out by Daniels Service Technicians or in-house staff.
Daniels Cost Variables: Transportation
Logistical considerations are a significant variable in the costing structure of our waste management model. Transportation variables are dictated by travel distances, frequency of pickup, waste volumes produced, permits, tolls and congestion areas, and any unique pickup and / or storage requirements for the facility being serviced. In our pricing model we seek to provide the most efficient and cost effective solution for each facility we service. We work with our customers inside the four walls of the facility on a unit-by-unit or facility-by-facility basis to optimize value per stop in the frequency of services provided.
