In the healthcare industry, proper management of biohazardous waste is important to ensure worker safety and environmental protection.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), biohazardous waste accounts for approximately 15% of the total waste generated by healthcare activities.

Despite the critical importance of biohazardous waste management, many healthcare facilities face significant challenges in complying with regulations.

For this reason, EHS Tracker is the ideal alternative for such institutions, as it is designed to optimize the management of this waste and ensure ongoing compliance with international best practices and regulations, such as ISO-45001.

In addition, these reports can be used for auditing and stakeholder communication purposes.
