Biohazardous Waste Handling, Storage, and Disposal

Improper handling, storage, or disposal of biohazardous waste poses serious health and safety risks to employees, patients, and the surrounding community. This course is designed for healthcare workers, laboratory staff, veterinary personnel, researchers, and any employee who generates, handles, or manages biohazardous — also referred to as infectious medical waste, regulated medical waste, or red bag waste — in the course of their work.
The course provides a thorough overview of what constitutes biohazardous waste, including materials contaminated with potentially infectious blood, body fluids, or other substances generated through the treatment, diagnosis, or immunization of humans or animals, as well as waste produced in medical research and biological testing environments. Learners will explore the different types and sources of biohazardous waste and gain a clear understanding of the regulatory agencies responsible for overseeing safe waste management practices at the federal, state, and local levels.
The course also covers safe handling and labeling procedures, proper packaging and storage requirements, and compliant transport and treatment methods. Employees will come away with the practical knowledge needed to manage biohazardous waste safely and in full accordance with applicable regulations — reducing the risk of exposure, environmental contamination, and regulatory penalties for their organization.

Our Story: From Service Members to Service Providers

Evolve eLearning Solutions started in 2003 with a simple observation: compliance training didn’t have to be painful. Founded by veterans of the United States Marine Corps and Navy, we brought a service-first mentality to an industry that often felt like an afterthought.

In the military, training isn’t optional—it’s how you stay mission-ready. We saw organizations struggling with the same challenge: keeping teams trained, compliant, and confident without derailing daily operations. The solutions available were either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both.

So, we built something different. Training that respects people’s time. Support that actually solves problems. Pricing that makes sense for real budgets. No enterprise sales pitches, no feature bloat—just effective compliance training delivered by people who understand what it means to serve.

Two decades later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve grown from a handful of courses to a comprehensive library covering OSHA, HIPAA, HR/EEO, and more. But we’re still the same team that picks up the phone, remembers your name, and treats your compliance challenges like they matter—because they do.
