New recycling bags meet compliance guidelines
In
order for UTMB to comply with HIPAA while keeping its commitment to
recycling paper, Business Operations and Facilities (BOF) has
redesigned the campus recycling bags. The new bags are double-zipped and
locked with a plastic padlock so that patient information may be safely
recycled, even in bins located in high-traffic areas. Logistics Supply
Management will provide the bags and the locks at no cost to
departments. Request Item No. 61247 for locks and Item No. 61244 for
bags. There is a limit of 20 bags per order. BOF asks that departments
fill bags with less than 40 pounds of paper so they will be easy to
move.
