ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH SERVICE WASTE: A CASE STUDY OF A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN MANAUS/AM
-
Descrição
-
The health waste management activity, whose steps range from
the identification of generation sites to the environmentally appropriate
final disposal, requires appropriate planning, where each step of the
process needs to be performed properly to ensure worker safety and
mitigate the impacts generated to the environment allied to the hospital
costs. Current legislation, such as: Law 6.938/81, which deals with the
National Environmental Policy, Resolution 222/2018, Law 12.305/2010,
which establishes the National Policy on Solid Waste (PNRS), among
others, guide this process. The general purpose of this case study is to
analyze the current process of management and treatment of waste from
the health service of the Hospital Universitário Getúlio Vargas (HUGV).
To achieve these results, a quantitative/qualitative, exploratory descriptive
research was carried out on the HUGV Waste Management Plan. The
information was collected through an Observational Roadmap of the
Current Flow, based on the ANVISA Board Resolution 222/2018.
Consistently, the results obtained showed that the hospital cost of waste
treatment is directly related to the management of HSW. With this, it was
concluded that the management process carried out in the hospital is not
fully in accordance with the current legislation, and that this noncompliance results in the high cost for the treatment and final destination
of the HSW, demonstrating the importance and the need to update the
hospital's PGRSS (Health Services Waste Management Program). The
research makes a relevant contribution to the HUGV with suggestions for
proposals for improvements in the work of managing HSW.
