Tying red biohazard bags properly is a small step that makes a big difference in safety and compliance. Follow these simple steps to ensure secure disposal:
1️⃣ Don’t overfill the bag—leave enough room to securely tie it.
2️⃣ Twist the top of the bag tightly to close it.
3️⃣ Secure with a gooseneck tie and fasten with tape or a zip tie.
These steps help prevent leaks, spills, and contamination, protecting your staff and the environment.
