Which type of waste presents an infectious hazard to disposal workers?

Non-contaminated items
Regulated infectious waste
Organic waste
General office waste

The correct answer is: Regulated infectious waste

The correct answer is regulated infectious waste. This type of waste is defined as any waste that can contain pathogens, including blood, bodily fluids, and materials that may be contaminated with infectious agents. It poses a direct risk of infection to those who handle or dispose of it, such as disposal workers. Regulated infectious waste must be treated with specific processes to ensure safety, such as autoclaving or incineration, to eliminate any potential risks. The handling and disposal of this type of waste are subject to strict regulations to protect public health and safety, making it crucial for anyone involved in waste management to understand its classification and the necessary precautions involved in its disposal. Other options, such as non-contaminated items, organic waste, and general office waste, do not carry the same level of risk associated with infectious agents and therefore do not present the same hazards to disposal workers.
