Montana Infectious Waste Guidelines


Given the thrill seeking activities abound in Montana, accidents can happen. Due to its small population there are no Trauma 1 centers in the state, so Montana’s healthcare workers, from paramedics to surgeons, are all provided additional training in the event a patient needs to be transported. Healthcare is in fact Montana's fastest growing industry with nearly one half of the certificates and two-year degrees handed out in Montana in 2013 and 2014 originating from nursing or allied health-related fields. All healthcare facilities produce medical waste and in order to keep Montana’s environment pristine, the disposal of this waste is managed by the DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality). The state of Montana defines medical or potentially infectious medical waste “waste capable of producing infectious disease.” All of these guidelines can be confusing, but lucky with have a guide to help you navigate the waters of compliance healthcare waste management:

Let's Talk about Montana

“Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam...” Montana named after the Spanish word for “mountains” isn’t called the “Treasure State” simply because of its rich mining history of copper, zinc, silver and gold. “Big Sky Country” is home to more than 1 million Montanans, and has the largest variety of mammals in America including elk, wolves, moose, deer, bison, trumpeter swans, grizzly bears, antelope and wild buffalo.

 

The state is home to the largest population of Golden Eagles, provides temporary accommodation for over 10,000 white pelicans migrating from the Gulf of Mexico to Medicine Lake, and has more heads of cattle than people. Adventurists and nature lovers from all over visit Montana with its top destination being Glacier National Park, tucked in the Rocky Mountains. Its 1 million acres of natural wonders make it one of America’s most Instagramed locations. In 1932, it was combined with Waterton National Park in Alberta Canada to form the world’s first International Peace Park and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.


With more than 700 miles of biking and hiking trails, 760 lakes, 175 mountains and 200 waterfalls, there is something for everyone. Flathead Lake is popular for boating and fishing year-round and Wildhorse Island is only accessible by boat. However, every Memorial Day, thousands flock to the annual Bigfork Whitewater Festival. Weather permitting, jump in the car and take a drive on “Going to the Sun Road,” straight through the heart of the park. South of the state, is Yellowstone National Park, take a detour via Butte, on its outskirts you will find the “Ringing Rocks,” getting their name from the melodic chime they make when tapped. Swing through Bozeman and say hi to “Big Mike” the T-Rex at the Museum of the Rockies - part of the Smithsonian Institute exhibiting dinosaur eggs, skulls and skeletons. Montana shares a small part of the famed Yellowstone National Park, a haven for hiking, fly fishing, rock climbing, ziplining, camping, horse riding and golfing, and is also home to the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center, a non-for-profit wildlife park that provides refuge to animals unable to survive in the wild.

Waste Classification

In Montana, an “infectious waste” means waste capable of producing disease.  Infectious waste includes but is not limited to:

  • Cultures and stocks of infectious agents and associated biologicals,
  • Human pathological waste, including tissues, organs, and body parts removed during surgery or an autopsy;
  • Free-flowing waste human blood and products of blood, including serum, plasma, and other blood components and items soaked or saturated with blood; and
  • Sharps that have been used in patient care, medical research, or industrial laboratories.

Storage Requirements

Montana state requirements mandate:

Infectious waste must be separated from ordinary waste at the point of origin and stored until the waste is rendered noninfectious in separate, distinct containers with biohazard warning labels in compliance with the following procedures:
(a) Sharps must be contained for storage, transportation, treatment, and subsequent disposal in leakproof, rigid, puncture-resistant containers that must be taped closed or capped securely to prevent loss of contents.
(b) Infectious waste other than sharps must be contained in moisture-proof disposable containers or bags of a strength sufficient to prevent ripping, tearing, or bursting under normal conditions of use. The bags must be securely tied to prevent leakage or expulsion of solid or liquid wastes during storage, handling, and transportation.
