Biohazardous Waste

In the state of Florida, biomedical waste supplies are required, by regulation, to comply with ASTM D-1709-91 and D-1922-89.  EHS has reviewed products from some vendorized sellers for the University of Miami. Attached is a list of products that are compliant with the State of Florida Department of Health (FLDOH) for proper storage and management of biohazardous waste in laboratories.  Other companies may be utilized as well, as long as the products are compliant with FLDOH guidelines.  If you would like more information about approved products, the FLDOH link is http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/biomedical-waste/red-bag-list.html
