MANAGEMENT OF HEALTH CARE RISK WASTE: (HCRW)
In 2022 Dublin Fire Brigade completed the rollout of new measures
to enhance the processes surrounding the management of Health
Care Risk Waste (HCRW). These new measures allowed for Dublin
Fire Brigade to continue to enhance the management of HCRW in
2023.
The new measures included a uniform secure cage system for
marshalling HCRW receptacles in each station of Dublin Fire
Brigade. The new system for recording HCRW container serial
numbers is available at the station office computer which assists
Dublin Fire Brigade in tracking. A new infographic was designed
and appropriately positioned in each location to assist staff in
adhering to the process. An e-learning module was developed on
our e-learning platform “LearnPro” on HCRW management in Dublin
Fire Brigade. This was rolled out to relevant staff for completion.
