Infectious waste is placed in containers:

Infectious waste is placed in containers:

• A. Made of lead
• B. Properly labeled with the type of waste there in
• C. That are incinerated
• D. Made of plastic only

Answer: (B)

Proper labeling of infectious waste containers ensures safe handling and correct treatment. When waste is clearly labeled with the type of waste inside, staff know exactly what precautions to take, how to store and transport it, and what disposal steps are required. The important point is communication of the waste content through labeling; container material or disposal method (like incineration) are secondary considerations, but labeling remains the key factor for proper management.
