Plano de gerenciamento de resíduos de serviços de saúde em uma Unidade Hospital Dia

Abstract

The correct management of solid waste is necessary to ensure the quality of life of the population and reduce the impact on the environment. Among the various sources that generate solid waste are activities carried out in health service environments. This work was conducted in a day hospital unit where it was possible to perform surgical procedures without the need for hospitalization of the patient and lower risk of infection, in addition to diagnostics and clinical and surgical procedures and which did not exceed a maximum stay of twelve hours for the patient. CONAMA Resolution No. 358/2005 determines that health service waste generators must prepare the PGRSS as an integral document of the environmental licensing process, in accordance with the pre-established criteria by the federal, state and municipalities. The objective of the work was to evaluate and propose an action plan and improvements in the PGRSS, existing in this hospital unit, considering the environmental, aesthetic and safety aspects, in addition to promoting education and environmental awareness. Visits were carried out on random dates at the site, with the purpose of characterizing the study area, understanding the operational procedures, quantifying and qualifying the waste generated. The information was noted on a standard chart for easy viewing, the packers were photographed and after that the data were organized and described separately. Based on these evaluations, improvements were proposed in terms of standardization, identification, sizing and allocation of packers. Finally, even considering the necessary improvements, it was concluded that the management of waste at the unit is in Law No. 11,471/2012, Art. 6, item XXIV. This work will be forwarded to the unit managers to be used as a manual for implementing improvements and adaptations regarding waste management.
