This recording, presented by Natasha Griffith, aims to raise awareness among people who work in laboratories about their waste production and their responsibilities – which go further than the trash can. She discusses best practices and the key steps (sorting, treatment, storage, transportation) to manage laboratory waste which is potentially infectious. One of the crucial points involves training the staff members who ensure the proper management of this (bio)waste. It's all about being able to manage the risks related to the laboratory's activity, particularly the biological risks.
