Abstract

HSW is an enormous risk when inadequately managed, as it becomes a means of spreading diseases and environmental contamination. The study aimed to monitor the level of knowledge of health professionals regarding the management of Health Service Waste (HCW) and the participation of managers in the sector. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire. The sample consisted of 53 health professionals. As reported by professionals, HSR management is a subject that is rarely addressed in the workplace. It is also observed that a significant portion of the professionals (46.8%) are not familiar with waste management standards, indicating a gap in knowledge. It is up to the manager to train for correct compliance with the legislation and prioritization of the non-generation of waste. This study contributes with guidelines for this.
