Transboundary movement of hazardous waste. Class B medical waste: disposal, collection and storage

Medical waste, according to Federal Law No. 323 "Fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens of the Russian Federation" is waste that appears as a result of the interaction of medical consumables with human biological fluids.

(ADV38)

They also include post-mortem, operational waste, waste resulting from the development and production of vaccines and vaccinations, as well as food waste infectious departments.

Waste class "B" is an epidemiological hazard.

Places where medical waste is generated

Places where class B medical waste is generated include:

  • Pathological departments
  • Operating
  • Dressing and procedure points
  • Department of dermatology and infection
  • Laboratory organizations (group 3-4 pathogenicity of bacteria)

Collection, movement and temporary storage of Class B waste

SanPiN clause 3.6. 2.1.7.2790-10 regulates the methods of movement and storage of medical waste in organizations that are places where such waste is generated.

It is important that all personnel who come into contact with class B waste in any way be vaccinated against hepatitis B.

The head of the enterprise must, without fail, draw up and approve an instruction that contains instructions for handling waste at all stages of contact with it. In this instruction, it is also necessary to indicate those responsible for the collection, storage and transportation hazardous waste.

Waste is collected in specially marked yellow bags, which indicate the name of the organization, its department and which are signed by the employee responsible for disposal. Sharp waste such as medical instruments, syringes, etc. collected in disposable puncture-proof containers. They are also marked. organic waste should be placed in a sealed container with a lid.

When collecting class B waste, it is important to consider the following:

  • It is forbidden to make physical impact on waste before neutralization
  • It is forbidden to close used syringes with caps
  • It is unacceptable to transfer waste from one container to another
  • Compaction of waste is also prohibited.
  • Before any interaction with waste, it is necessary to use protective equipment (special suits, respirators, gloves)
  • It is unacceptable to store waste in the immediate vicinity of heating devices.

During one working shift, it is necessary to collect all waste and send it for further recycling. Single-use containers can be filled within 3 days, unlike packages. The bags must be changed every shift, taking into account that the maximum filling level should not exceed three quarters of their volume.

After the containers and bags are filled, the person in charge of waste collection tightly closes the lids of the containers and ties the bags with special ties.

Prepared containers and packages are marked with the date, the name of the organization and the initials of the person in charge of a particular shift. It is also necessary to indicate that this is Class B waste.

Waste is transferred to the place of storage or further treatment by placing it in special containers. Then they are transported either to the place of further circulation or to the places of temporary storage before being exported by specialized vehicles.

It is important to take into account the material, thermal and heat resistance of containers for movement. They must be stable and not open spontaneously.

Unauthorized people should not be in temporary storage rooms. Access must be restricted to persons responsible for disposal.

Remote structural medical organizations have a reason to temporarily store Class B waste on their territory. You can place them on the territory of utility rooms, but in the future they must be sent to the honey. organization for the purpose of disinfection.

If it is necessary to store more than a day, the prepared Class B waste must be placed in refrigerators, which cannot be used for any other purposes.

Disposal methods

Waste of an organic nature (from operating rooms and pathoanatomical departments) belonging to class "B" is cremated or buried. There are special cemeteries for this. This category of waste does not require preliminary disinfection.

What about other medical waste? They are necessarily subjected to a disinfection procedure and only after that they are burned.

On the territory of some medical institutions, specially designed equipment for waste disposal is installed. Smaller institutions use the services of third-party companies specializing in waste disposal.

Based on the foregoing, there are two ways to neutralize Class B waste. These are decentralized and centralized ways.

The decentralized method is called disinfection on the territory of medical institutions. Accordingly, the centralized method implies disinfection at a site that is outside the territory of the honey. institutions and involves transporting waste to a disposal site.

Transportation of waste to the place of disinfection

Transportation of waste to the places of disinfection is carried out by specialized organizations. Vehicles used to transport Class B waste are used exclusively for this purpose. It is forbidden to transport waste of other classes or any other cargo in them.

It is noteworthy that class “B” waste that has undergone a disinfection procedure (marking on passing the disinfection procedure is required) can be transported to the burial site along with class “A” waste.

Containers for transportation of waste - reusable. They are washed and disinfected for further use.

Waste accounting in the journal

SapPiN obliges to keep logs for all types of waste to be disposed of. Each hazard class has its own form of this log.

Documents required to maintain such a journal:

  • Technological journal of the organization, which indicates all filled containers with waste, their number.
  • Technological log of the amount of waste that is removed from the organization for further handling and disposal. It also indicates the data of contracts with organizations transporting these wastes.
  • Certificate indicating the passage of the disinfection procedure. Also, the data of the organization conducting this procedure and the contract with it.
  • The technological log of a specific department of the organization in which a report is kept on waste management.

Disinfection of waste class "B"

Chemical or hardware methods are used to neutralize waste. In the first case, the waste is exposed to powerful disinfectants, in the second case, the waste is treated with high-temperature steam, and they are also exposed to radiation exposure and electromagnetic radiation.

After the waste has been decontaminated, tests are carried out to make sure it is safe.

Also, solid salvage left after the disinfection procedure is allowed to be placed in landfills for MSW.

Secondary raw materials, even already decontaminated waste, cannot be produced.

Movement of construction waste in Moscow

During construction, erection road and bridge facilities , development of underground areas , site preparation , as well as during repair , reconstruction , demolition , dismantling of buildings and structures , materials and soil remain . In Moscow, according to statistics, their volumes exceed one and a half million tons per year. In order to protect the environment, in 2004, officials of the capital developed a system that allows move construction debris, soil, while controlling their volume and quality. Such a system not only prevents the formation unauthorized and spontaneous landfills , but also reduces the load on city highways , meets the needs of construction companies , and allows materials to be recycled .

How the licensing system works

Participants in the construction process before the start of work receive a permit that allows transporting waste, as well as soil to their places of disposal. They can be special areas for storage, processing or disposal, or specialized enterprises with licenses and placement limits such materials. Once the relocation works are completed, the permit will be closed. The document is drawn up in accordance with the rules established by law.

Previously, the conclusion on the issuance of permits for the movement of construction waste was prepared by State unitary enterprise Informstroyservis". The same organization was entrusted with the functions of maintaining the entire waste base. construction and assembly(dismantling) works. Permits were issued if their volume exceeded 50 cubic meters.

Issuance of a permit for the transportation of soil after the excavation, the company was engaged OJSC INTUS. This organization is part of the construction complex of the capital, providing it with the necessary information about the objects under construction in the city. The main functions of the company in the field of construction are : analytics of investment programs ; design of objects; monitoring compliance with safety regulations; increasing production efficiency .

Both organizations issued permits for a fee. Exceptions were cases when the construction project was fully funded by the state.

Changes in the permit system

On July 1, 2013, significant changes took place in the permit system:

- permits for the movement of construction and demolition waste for processing or disposal, as well as - for the transportation of soil are issued by the Moscow Department of Construction;

Permits are issued free of charge and without the involvement of commercial organizations;

Maintaining an information base on movements, waste processing and transportation of soils is carried out public state institution "Department of preparation of territories", an organization, subordinate Department of Construction;

Permits are issued when the volume of waste exceeds 30 cubic meters.

The Department of Construction regulates the movement of earthen masses, determines the places for their storage, in case the soil is unsuitable for reuse.

Permits to transport soil are issued by the Department on the basis of an agreement between the supplier and the recipient. If between them there is a free exchange of soils, then coupons are issued.

Such innovations regulate the waste and soil accounting system, strengthen the control of their movement, reduce costs construction and assembly organizations , speed up and simplify the process of issuing permits .

The movement of goods across the customs border is carried out in compliance with prohibitions and restrictions, unless otherwise established by the Customs Code, international treaties of the Member States Customs Union, decisions of the Commission of the Customs Union and regulatory legal acts of the member states of the Customs Union, issued in accordance with international treaties of the member states of the Customs Union, which establish such prohibitions and restrictions (paragraph 1 of Article 152 of the Code).

Prohibitions and restrictions are understood as a set of measures applied to goods moving across the customs border, including non-tariff regulation measures, measures affecting foreign trade in goods and introduced based on national interests, special types of prohibitions and restrictions on foreign trade in goods, export control measures, in including in relation to military products, technical regulation, as well as sanitary and epidemiological, veterinary, quarantine, phytosanitary and radiation requirements, which are established by international treaties of the Customs Union member states, decisions of the Customs Union Commission and regulatory legal acts of the Customs Union member states, issued in accordance with international treaties of the Customs Union member states (subparagraph 8 of paragraph 1 Article 4 of the Code).

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 183 of the Code, the filing of a customs declaration must be accompanied by the submission to the customs authority of the documents on the basis of which the customs declaration is completed, unless otherwise provided by this Code.

Such documents include, in particular, documents confirming compliance with prohibitions and restrictions.

Subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 of Article 195 of the Code establishes that the release of goods is carried out by the customs authorities, including when licenses, certificates, permits and (or) other documents necessary for the release of goods in accordance with the Code and (or) other international agreements of the states - members of the Customs Union, except for cases when, in accordance with the legislation of the states - members of the Customs Union, these documents can be submitted after the release of goods.

Paragraph 17 of Article 2 federal law dated 08.12.2003 No. 164-FZ “On the Fundamentals of State Regulation of Foreign Trade Activities” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 164-FZ), non-tariff regulation is defined as a method of state regulation of foreign trade in goods, carried out by introducing quantitative restrictions and other prohibitions and restrictions of an economic nature.

According to Article 20 of Law No. 164-FZ, non-tariff regulation of foreign trade in goods can be carried out only in cases provided for in Articles 21-24, 26 and 27 of Law No. 164-FZ, subject to the requirements specified therein.

In accordance with clause 2 of part 1 of Article 24 of Law No. 164-FZ, licensing in the field of foreign trade in goods is established, including in cases where the licensing procedure for export and (or) import is implemented certain types goods that may adversely affect the security of the state, the life or health of citizens, the property of individuals or legal entities, state or municipal property, environment, life or health of animals and plants.

By virtue of part 2 of article 24 of Law No. 164-FZ, the basis for the export and (or) import of certain types of goods in the cases listed in part 1 of article 24 of Law No. 164-FZ is a license issued in accordance with part 5 of article 13 of the Law.

Attribution of compliance with license requirements to prohibitions and restrictions of an economic nature (non-tariff regulation) is carried out in accordance with the provisions of Law No. 164-FZ.

By general rule, established by paragraph 4 of the Unified List of Goods No. 134, the import and export of waste is carried out on the basis of licenses issued by the authorized state body of the state - a member of the Customs Union, on the territory of which the applicant is registered

Clause 2.3 of the Unified List of Goods No. 134 lists the names and other characteristics of goods - hazardous waste, restricted for movement across the customs border of the Customs Union upon import and (or) export.

At the same time, the nominal inclusion of goods in the list of section 2.3 of the Unified List of Goods No. 134 is not an unconditional basis for classifying such goods as waste. The presence of imported goods in this list in itself is not a legal basis for classifying it as waste, the import of which requires a license, in this case is not for the following reasons.

Waste means substances or objects that are disposed of, are intended to be disposed of or are subject to disposal in accordance with the environmental legislation of the member states of the Customs Union (subparagraph 1 of paragraph 8 of the Unified List of Goods No. 134 to paragraph 2.3 of the list of goods).

A similar definition of waste is contained in paragraph 1 of Article 2 of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal, ratified by the Russian Federation by Federal Law No. waste and their disposal”.

Federal Law No. 89-FZ of June 24, 1998 “On Production and Consumption Wastes” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 89-FZ) defines legal framework management of production and consumption waste in order to prevent harmful effects production and consumption waste on human health and the environment, as well as the involvement of such waste in economic circulation as additional sources of raw materials.

Production and consumption waste refers to the remains of raw materials, materials, semi-finished products, other products or products formed in the process of production or consumption, as well as goods (products) that have lost their consumer properties (Article 1 of Law No. 89-FZ).

Based on the systematic interpretation of the above norms, imported (exported) goods can be classified as waste if the following signs (criteria) are present: they are the remains of raw materials, materials formed during the production process; intended to be removed; they have no consumer properties.

At the same time, the current Russian and international legislation does not contain other signs of classifying goods as waste (including the listing in the list of section 2.3 of the Unified List of Goods No. 134)

Adopted as part of accession Russian Federation to the Basel Convention and the approved order federal agency on technical regulation and metrology dated December 15, 2009 No. 1091-st “National Standard of the Russian Federation. Resource saving. Waste management. Passport of waste I - IV hazard class. Basic requirements ”(GOST R 53691-2009), in note No. 1 to Appendix “G” of which it is also indicated that the lists of waste contained in Appendix “G” of this standard are not intended to determine whether a particular material is a waste , and are not intended to be exhaustive. They are subject to amendments and adjustments. Waste classification in accordance with Annex G does not mean that the material in question is always waste.

The unconditional submission of the relevant license upon presentation for customs clearance of the goods listed in Section 2.3 of the Unified List of Goods No. 134, without determining and confirming the signs of this product relating it to production and consumption waste, is illegal.

There is a Federal classification catalog of waste, approved by order of the Federal Service for Supervision of Natural Resources dated July 18, 2014 No. 445, which establishes hazard classes.

Article 4.1 of Law No. 89-FZ classifies practically non-hazardous waste. According to paragraph 30 of Article 12 of the Federal Law of 04.05.2011 No. 99-FZ “On Licensing Certain Types of Activities”, activities for the collection, transportation, processing, disposal, disposal, disposal of waste of hazard classes I-IV are subject to licensing.

Similar provisions are contained in subparagraph “e” of paragraph 8 of the Rules for the Cross-Border Movement of Goods, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 442 dated July 17, 2003. At the same time, this law does not provide for obtaining a license for waste of hazard class V.

The above norms are quoted from the decision of the AC SKO in case A32-27233 / 2015, which we had a chance to conduct in court

Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation
D. Medvedev

Order of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2003 N 1151 “On Approval of the Forms of a Notification on the Transboundary Movement of Waste and a Document on the Transportation of Waste”

Transportation of waste from one country to another or their transit through the territory of other states takes place strictly in accordance with the established requirements. This procedure is carried out on the basis of a special permit. It is worth considering all the nuances of transboundary movement of waste.

Who needs permission

In 1989, the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal was signed in Switzerland. 116 countries took part in it. For Russia, the convention entered into force in 1995.

The transboundary movement of waste refers to their export from one country and import to another. For the transport of materials that are defined as dangerous, it is necessary to be aware of all obligations and details of the procedure. The procedure for transboundary movement of waste is established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

For a single transportation, legal entities are required to obtain a permit. This document gives the right to import, export and transit hazardous products through countries that are parties to the Basel Convention.

It is required for the cross-border movement of the following materials:

  • medical practices;
  • refined petroleum products;
  • used batteries;
  • pesticides and chemical substances that can harm the environment;
  • used tires, aluminum slag;
  • solid waste vegetable oils and others.

You can get the appropriate paper from Rosprirodnadzor. The document is valid until the end of the year of its issue. If there is a contract confirming the need for regular transportation of materials, you can issue a permit valid for 1 year.

For organizations that regularly import and export hazardous products on the territory of the Russian Federation, it is possible to obtain a license for transboundary movement of waste. Such a document is issued by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The license has no expiration dates.

How to file a transboundary movement of waste

To obtain a transport permit, the following requirements must be met:

  • collect the entire set of documents for the transported materials, which will include their list, the purpose of transportation and the final destination;
  • make a hazard passport;
