Answer:

Regulate waste and nonregulated waste are generated in dental office. Regulated Waste are defined as the waste that includes infectious waste and chemical//hazardous waste. For example: disposable needles, dental burs, scalpel blades and Human tissue etcetera.

Packaging of regulated waste for transport require a suitable regulated medical waste container that should be reusable with color-coding that represents the waste. Then the container is folded into a red biohazard bag, labeling that the waste is biohazardous. No waste should throw directly in red bag. Then the staff needs to make a strong knot to prevent any leakage from the bag using gloves. The bag is then kept in a transport container and again checked for the appropriate labeling as per the federal, state and local requirements in the outer box.
