Luwang News, June 16 (Reporter Wu Meilin, Correspondent Gong Jinjun) – In order to standardize the management of medical waste at Dezhou Central Hospital, improve staff's emergency response capabilities for medical waste leaks, eliminate potential safety hazards in a timely manner, and strengthen the hospital's medical safety defenses, a medical waste emergency drill was organized on June 12 by the Infection Control Department, in conjunction with the General Affairs Department and the Security Department, and organized by the Department of Pulmonary Diseases.
This drill strictly followed the relevant provisions of the "Regulations on the Management of Medical Waste." It simulated a clinical scenario where medical waste containing exudate was suddenly spilled on-site. During the collection and handover of medical waste from the ward, improper handling caused the medical waste bag to break, scattering medical waste on the ground. After the incident, staff immediately reported it to the Infection Control Department, General Affairs Department, and Security Department by phone. Staff arrived at the scene promptly and worked together to handle the situation.


After the heads of the Infection Control Department and the General Affairs Department arrived at the scene, they conducted an on-site assessment of the nature of the leaked waste and quickly formulated an on-site treatment plan. They guided the staff to wear protective equipment properly, collected all the spilled medical waste in a standardized manner, resealed and packaged it, and thoroughly disinfected the contaminated ground and surrounding environment. The entire process was carried out in a closed loop to effectively avoid secondary pollution.


The entire drill was well-organized and tightly structured. All participants had clear roles, reacted quickly, and operated in a standardized manner. They accurately completed the entire emergency response process, including early warning reporting, on-site control, waste disposal, environmental disinfection, and risk assessment. The drill fully replicated the entire process of handling an emergency and efficiently achieved its objectives, demonstrating the department's emphasis on emergency response.
This multi-departmental joint emergency drill effectively tested the feasibility and practicality of the emergency response plan for medical waste incidents at Dezhou Municipal Central Hospital, further strengthened the emergency response capabilities of the pulmonology department staff, and enhanced the collaborative capabilities between infection control and logistical safety. Moving forward, the hospital will continue to strictly promote standardized management of medical waste and continuously strengthen its emergency response capabilities to safeguard the safety of patients and the environment.
