Clinical rigid containers in Ireland are used for the safe disposal of hazardous or high-risk healthcare waste.
They are suitable for items such as contaminated glass, surgical instruments, laboratory waste, and non-sharp metal items.
These containers are made from durable, puncture-resistant materials to ensure secure containment during handling and transport.
Rigid containers are colour-coded to distinguish between waste types, such as infectious, cytotoxic, or anatomical waste.
They play a key role in preventing leaks, spills, and cross-contamination in clinical environments.
All containers must be correctly closed, labelled, and handled according to HSE and EPA guidelines.
Their use ensures full compliance with Irish healthcare waste legislation and safety standards.
By using rigid containers appropriately, healthcare providers protect staff, patients, and the environment from avoidable risks.
