2025-07-032025-07-032025https://repositorio.ifal.edu.br/handle/123456789/1017Waste is the material that remains or that is undesirably generated in an activity. Healthcare Waste (HW) is that produced by any agent of prevention, maintenance or recovery of human or animal health or aesthetics. The increase in the population and the growth in demand for health and beauty procedures drive the generation of HW, causing health risks to those who come into contact with it. In Brazil, health, environmental, labor or metrology surveillance institutions issue standards, such as RDC nº 222/2018 from Anvisa and ABNT NBR 12808:2020, which aim to regulate activities so that harm to humans and the environment is avoided or, at least, minimized. One of the regulatory requirements is that each generator prepares and executes a Health Service Waste Management Plan (HWMP), making it available to anyone who wishes to consult it. This is an essential document for the provider to obtain the environmental operating license. Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze the compliance of the HWMP with the current related standards. To this end, a theoretical framework for analysis (TFA) was developed, with each item based on the rigor of the available standards and literature, to serve as a parameter. In order to compare them among themselves, as well as not to expose the institution, each establishment was identified by the acronym HWG (healthcare waste generator) followed by the number corresponding to the position of the decreasing number of pages of its HWMP. A methodology was used that assigns scores of 5 (five), 3 (three) or 0 (zero), depending on whether the item of the Plan is fully, partially or not answered, respectively. Of the approximately 130 establishments consulted, only 13 made their HWMP available, and of these, the majority through the Access to Information Law. The TFA was structured with 70 questions grouped into six items. On this scale, each HWG could obtain up to 350 points. However, the scores ranged from only 137 (HWG13) to 243 (HWG5), that is, they are between 39% and 69% of an ideal standard, with five of them below 50% compliance with health and environmental standards. Given the limited availability of PGRSSs and the poor adherence to the standards of those that were analyzed, it is concluded that this document is absent in many establishments in the State of Alagoas and, in those that do exist, improvements are needed.ptResíduos de serviços de saúde.
