-
EPA
and state environmental regulatory agencies are starting to explore
pharmaceutical waste management practices at healthcare facilities.
-
Pharmacists
are not currently trained to identify pharmaceutical wastes considered
to be hazardous waste under EPA’s Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA).
-
Safety,
environmental services, and facility managers have difficulty
applying RCRA to the complex pharmaceutical waste stream.
- EPA and state environmental
agencies can levy corporate fines up to $32,500 per violation per day (a violation can be defined
as one item discarded into the wrong waste stream).
- Personal liability
can be assessed from the department manager up through the chain
of command to the CEO, and can include fines
and prison terms.
-
