Necessary care
When discarding objects, make a very strong knot. The bags must be resistant, disposable and filled with up to two thirds of the capacity. This measure is to avoid workers' contact with possible contaminated waste.
Disposal of gloves and masks
These materials should not be thrown into recyclable waste, as they run the risk of being contaminated.
