SDG 12.2.3 Policy waste disposal – hazardous materials
NCUE has developed ‘Guidelines for Disposal of Laboratory Waste in the NCUE.’ Waste effluent, chemicals, and empty containers from NCUE laboratories are removed twice a year. Biomedical wastes produced by infirmaries and laboratories are removed once a week, as indicated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
Please refer to appendices 12.2.3A(PDF)–Guidelines for Disposal of Laboratory Wastes in NCUE and 12.2.3B(PDF)–Wastes Removed in 2024.
Please refer to the waste management website of the Center of Protection and Occupational Safety and Health:
