Liner Bags
Outside of health care facilities, there are no regulations in place to protect housekeepers or janitorial staff from exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material, even while cleaning restrooms. OSHA guidelines simply dictate that feminine care products be discarded in sanitary napkin receptacles that are properly lined to prevent contact with the contents.
INEFFECTIVE BROWN WAXED PAPER BAGS
The most common product on the market used for this purpose is brown waxed paper bags. Since the bags do not hold their form to line the receptacle, soiled product piles up outside of the bag and does not remain contained to prevent direct contact during removal. Cleaning staff must be cautious when reaching into containers to remove used products to prevent accidental puncture by needles and other sharps disposed of in the stall sanitary napkin receptacle.
STALL WASTE RECEPTACLES CAN NOT SERVE AS BOTH A DISPENSER OF BAGS AND A DISPOSAL UNIT
Another significant problem occurs when custodial staff place stacks of clean bags inside the receptacles. This sends a mixed message to restroom users that the receptacle is a trash can to discard feminine waste not a dispenser of disposal bags. Once the first user discards waste, subsequent users are reluctant to reach in for a clean bag for fear of touching dirty items. Now, all of the unused “clean” bags are contaminated! This results in an unsanitary mess.
