Biomedical wastes (BMW) are of utmost importance due to their potential environmental hazards and public health risks. Approximately 10-25% of the medical waste is injurious to health care professionals and poses a serious threat for disease transmission if not properly managed. Medical and Dental residents are budding future practitioners and are expected to be cognizant of various BMW management methods and protocols. However, there seems to be a lack of training in the same during medical as well as dental course. Therefore, a need was felt to assess the present status of knowledge, attitude and practice of these residents regarding BMW management. Aim: To determine knowledge, attitude and practice of BMW management amongst medical and dental residents. Materials and methods: The study included 146 participants (sample size correctly corrected). A pre-validated, peer reviewed, structured questionnaire consisting of three sections to assess knowledge, awareness and practices respectively was used as the study instrument. Collected data was sorted, tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics in the view of the study objectives.
