Version 2 of the Safe Management of Healthcare Waste guide is now available on Space for Health (http://www.spaceforhealth.nhs.uk/).

All 402 pages are there for your consideration, including much poor science and misunderstanding as well as, in all fairness, a great deal of quite sound practical information but all bound together with a great deal of bureaucratic nonsense. Sadly, the version 2 revision has still failed to circumvent the heavy hand of regulatory prejudice and omits a properly evidence-based scientific foundation, or dovetail closely with the long-established and highly reputable CDC Universal and Standard Precautions.

To make matters worse, the document is available for download only from (http://www.spaceforhealth.nhs.uk/). This site places restrictions of downloads and many will find themselves without access.
