Medical Waste Regulatory Program (MWRP) Overview
| The MWRP administers and enforces Michigan's Medical Waste Regulatory Act (MWRA), and the rules adopted pursuant to the act. (See web link below for a copy of the act and rules.) The MWRA provides regulations for the handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of medical waste. Its objective is to protect those persons who come into contact with medical waste from exposure to the risk of injury, infection, or disease that is created from improperly disposed medical waste. The MWRA mandates how producing facilities of medical waste must manage their medical waste from the point at which it is generated to its ultimate disposal point. Generators of medical waste are required to register as producing facilities of medical waste under the MWRA. |
