Hospital waste assessment.
(a) On or before June 1, 1992, each hospital burning potentially infectious
medical waste on site or transporting such waste to a pollution
control facility shall conduct a waste reduction opportunity assessment that

(2) eliminating or reducing the use of carcinogenic | ||

The hospital shall consider the quantity of waste, the hazardous properties
of the waste, the safety of its patients and employees, economic costs and
savings, and other appropriate factors in selecting target waste streams
and waste reduction options.
