The Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016, apply to which of the following persons?

I. Who generate, collect, receive and store the biomedical waste

II. Who transports, treats, dispose of the biomedical waste

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Both groups are covered. Rule 2 applies to persons who generate, collect, receive, store, transport, treat, dispose of or otherwise handle biomedical waste. Its scope therefore extends beyond the healthcare institution producing waste to persons involved in later handling, treatment and disposal; a person need not perform every listed activity to be covered.
