Why is it important to train healthcare employees on proper disposal of waste in a hospital? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Proper waste disposal protects people and the environment by keeping infectious materials and hazardous chemicals out of places where they could cause harm. Training helps employees prevent contamination from infected body tissues or fluids and ensures hazardous chemicals are handled separately from regular trash. Not all hospital waste is biohazardous, so placing all trash in a biohazard container is not appropriate.
