00:00One of the most difficult jobs in the world is to carry garbage.
00:04But there are types of garbage that are really hazardous if they call it that,
00:09and it's dangerous to the people who carry it.
00:12And we will join the people who carry hazardous waste.
00:16But we really need to be fully protected because the hospital waste is of a different kind.
00:24Today, I will join Christopher, the head of medical waste.
00:30But before anything else, we need to wear personal protective equipment or PPE.
00:38Okay, let's do it.
00:43We went down to the hospital basement to start our mission.
00:47The work of those who haul hazardous waste starts here.
00:53They are now picking up drums.
00:55This is where we will put the hazardous materials.
00:59Today, the waste that we will collect is called M501.
01:06This is the pathological waste.
01:10In other words, these are human parts, human bodies, blood, all liquids.
01:17So there is a possibility that there are bacteria or we will be contaminated.
01:21That's why you can see that we are fully equipped with safety gear.
01:26Okay.
01:47They segregate their hazardous waste and put it in a specific storage area.
01:54It is written here, hazardous waste storage area.
01:57This can't be entered by just anyone because there is a possibility that they will be contaminated.
02:03It is a hazardous waste, so it is very dangerous.
02:06That's why you really need to wear proper safety gear.
02:10Let's go, brother.
02:12We will now put eye protection because we don't know what can enter our eyes.
02:26So you can see, this is the look of the hazardous materials that were collected in this hospital.
02:35If you can see in hospitals, as long as it is in yellow plastic, it means that it is hazardous waste.
02:40There are different types of hazardous waste.
02:42There is pathological waste, which is human bodies, liquids, placenta, and so on.
02:49Then we also have the pharmaceutical waste, which is expired medicines, syringes, vials, etc.
02:57Then there is another type of waste, which is busted fluorescent lamps.
03:03You will think that it is just light, what's the problem with that?
03:06Because it has mercury content, so it is dangerous for us.
03:11I know what kind of disease is here, so I won't throw it away.
03:19Maybe there is a mistake, so I will just put it away.
03:26Don't throw it away because there may be injections, syringes, and so on.
03:33So, is this okay?
03:35We will just put it away.
03:37We will just put it away.
03:39Ah, okay.
03:47We will wrap it.
03:48You will wrap it?
03:49Yes, thank you.
03:51You can't see it.
03:53He is wrapping it now to make sure that nothing will leak when they transport it.
04:03Just like this, the plastic is a bit open, that's why it is dangerous.
04:14Every collector of hazardous materials should go through intensive training so that they are really safe.
04:26How many of you went through training?
04:32One.
04:48You can go now.
04:5032 drums that we carried today, but these are M501 only, the pathological waste, blood,
05:13placenta, human waste, and human body parts.
05:43Thank you for watching!
