Safe, compliant, and disciplined management of healthcare waste. We provide specialist support for the handling and internal transport of clinical waste and sharps, ensuring your facility adheres to strict UK Health and Safety legislation. With 20 years of expertise, we help you maintain a hazard-free environment for patients and staff alike.
Effective waste management is a critical component of infection control and facility safety. Our medical waste and sharps support service is designed to manage the internal lifecycle of hazardous materials—from the point of generation in the treatment room to the point of secure storage for collection. We focus on the disciplined segregation and safe movement of waste, ensuring that clinicians are not burdened with the logistical risks of waste handling. By integrating these protocols into our cleaning regime, we eliminate the risk of overflow and ensure that hazardous materials are never left unattended in patient-facing areas.
Ensuring all waste is correctly categorised and placed in the appropriate colour-coded stream (e.g., infectious, non-infectious, or medicinal) to meet UK “Duty of Care” requirements.
Systematic monitoring and replacement of sharps bins to ensure they are never filled beyond the safety line, preventing needle-stick injuries.
Utilising secure, leak-proof trolleys and designated transit routes to move waste from clinical zones to external storage points without crossing “clean” paths.
Intensive cleaning and disinfection of internal waste holding areas and external bin stores to prevent odours, pests, and microbial build-up.
Maintaining accurate logs of waste movement and bin replacements, providing an essential audit trail for CQC and environmental inspections.
The handling of clinical waste is governed by a complex web of legislation, including the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Health and Safety at Work Act. For a healthcare facility, the “Duty of Care” is non-transferable; you are legally responsible for your waste until it is safely disposed of. Improper handling or poor segregation can lead to significant fines, environmental hazards, and, most importantly, serious injury to staff and patients.
By partnering with Waterfront Medical Cleaning, you ensure that waste management is handled by specialists who understand the risks of cross-contamination. We provide a bridge between your clinical activities and your waste collection provider, ensuring that your facility remains tidy, compliant, and safe. Our geo-fenced accountability system ensures that waste checks are performed on schedule, and we provide the digital verification needed for your compliance folders. To ensure your waste protocols are established correctly, every new contract begins with a complimentary deep clean of all waste storage and clinical disposal areas.
