title: A practical approach to waste management.
abstract: In March 2013, the Department of Health (DH), in partnership with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Department of Transport, produced an updated version of Health Technical Memorandum 07-01 (HTM 07-01), fully supported by the Environment Agency (EA), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and the devolved administrations. Here, Stuart Budd, head of Environment, Safety and Health, and Keerti Baker, PR and communications executive, at SRCL, one of the UK's leading healthcare waste specialists, look in some detail at the updated guidance, with a particular focus on new developments in the area of clinical waste.
