In places where workers are likely to come into contact with pathogenic biological agents that may be present in the bodies of patients or deceased persons or in live or dead animals, appropriate measures are taken to protect the health and safety of workers, in particular by providing information on decontamination and disinfection procedures and implementing procedures for the safe handling and disposal of contaminated waste.
A joint decree by the ministers for labour, agriculture and health lays down, where necessary, procedures for the disposal of contaminated waste.
