Abstract

Medicinski otpad je otpad koji nastaje u zdravstvenim ustanovama, a prema svojim svojstvima može biti opasni i neopasni. Opasni otpad predstavlja potencijalnu opasnost za okoliš i zdravlje ljudi dok je neopasni medicinski otpad prema svojim svojstvima jednak komunalnom otpadu.
Medicinski otpad može biti različitih vrsta, a najopasniji među njima je genotoksični otpad.
Cilj je ovog rada izmjeriti mjesečne količine genotoksičnog otpada i analizirati načine upravljanja navedenim otpadom na odjelu Onkologije Sveučilišne kliničke bolnice Mostar.
Kroz ovaj Diplomski rad izvršena je usporedba upravljanja medicinskim otpadom s primjerima dobre prakse i Plana upravljanja medicinskim otpadom na temelju čega su dani prijedlozi njegova unaprjeđenja u Sveučilišnoj kliničkoj bolnici Mostar. Dani se prijedlozi odnose na izgled skladišta i uvjete skladištenja genotoksičnog otpada, njegovo evidentiranje te prikupljanje u odgovarajuću ambalažu.
Prema dobivenim rezultatima navedenog istraživanja, razina upravljanja medicinskim otpadom na odjelu Onkologije Sveučilišne kliničke bolnice Mostar je zadovoljavajuća.

Abstract (english)

Medical waste is waste generated in health care facilities and, depending on its properties, it is hazardous or non-hazardous waste. Hazardous waste represents a potential environmental and human health hazard while non-hazardous medical waste is equivalent to municipal waste by its characteristics. Medical waste can be of various types, the most dangerous of which is genotoxic waste.The aim of this work is to measure the monthly quantities of genotoxic waste and to analyze the methods of managing such waste at the Oncology department of the University Clinical Hospital Mostar.
In this Graduate thesis, a comparison of medical waste management with examples of good practice and the Medical Waste Management Plan is made based on which proposals for its improvement at the Mostar University Clinical Hospital are given. The proposals given relate to the warehouse layout and the conditions for storing the genotoxic waste, its recording and collection in appropriate packaging.
According to the results of the aforementioned research, the level of medical waste management at the Department of Oncology of the University Clinical Hospital Mostar is satisfactory.
