Five ill after exposure to radioactive medical waste

Hello,   Regarding Medical waste private hospital and government hospital should follow proper guidelines and to clear the entire waste without causing inconvenient to public. The health department should monitor these things periodically. Regret to mentioned that we dint have any system and responsibility.It is better to correct ourself and learn to do better in future.

thanks for sharing this.

First of all knowingly well that there was radioactive medical waste in the room, these persons should not have been allowed to sleep in that kind of store room.  Secondly, it is the duty of the owner of the factory to write a sign board on the room as the room was highly radioactive.  Factories are subject to many laws presently where people are required to be shielded away from hazardous material. prevention is always better than cure.  The Occupier/owner of the Factory can be booked under the existing laws.  Every where government is not required to take action.  It is the boundoned duty of the occupier/owner of Factory premises to guard the people/workers from hazardous material stored in the factory, if at all it was required to be stored. The owner/occupiers could have taken care of disposal of that radioactive material within time as may be required appropriately in chemical world. Looks like it has not been done.  This is sheer contributory negligence on the part of the people sleeping in the said room and the owners/occupiers of the factory.
