Abstract

Once the aspects related to the contamination of the hazardous solid waste generated at the Pet City Veterinary Clinic have been analyzed, we can observe that the clinic failed to comply with the environmental parameters, with the management of hazardous biological waste in the development of daily activities. , for example: hairdressing, surgery, nursery and laboratory studies, which affected the community of the Modelia neighborhood of Fontibón Bogotá. Due to the above, the need to implement an EMP was raised in which the appropriate way to organize the different types of waste produced within the clinic would be considered, generating a classification system by sections, taking into account that within each section different types of waste are produced and the importance of not mixing them, each of these must have their own containers and follow an evacuation route, in addition to special procedures to be finally disposed of through companies qualified for this work, whether they are special, hazardous or common waste. Given the objective of the study, which was the implementation of a PMA in a veterinary clinic, a mixed approach was used that was applied transversally, since the project contemplated an investigation and a sufficient regulatory framework, for which an investigation was carried out. of a descriptive type to know in detail the zones and the hazardous waste that are generated for the focus of the investigation. This work was designed under the methodological approach of the quantitative approach and as a study population we had 7 employees who work in PET CITY, likewise, we determined the hospital waste produced in the clinic according to its type and generation activities. Once the environmental management plan was implemented, an adequate way to organize the different types of waste produced was obtained, generating a waste classification system by sections of the clinic, taking into account that different types are produced within each section. of waste, each one of these has its own containers and an evacuation route was defined, in addition special procedures were established to be finally discarded through qualified companies.
