Abstract

Waste Health Service (WSH), due to its toxic and/or pathogenic characteristics, are a concern for society and the environment. Every generator should prepare a Plan of Health Services Waste Management - PGRSS, based on the characteristics of the waste generated and their ratings and establishing the management guidelines of RSS. This work has the general objective to contribute to the health waste management in the city of Palmas by implementing the correct Waste Management Health Solids, in two municipal health units. The research adopted the qualitative method research design intervention type, which sought to explore the causes that determine the current status of each unit of waste management, with propositional character. Statistical analysis for the effect of training on the implementation of PGRSS was analyzed by the nonparametric sign test. considering the two observation dates (02/22/2016 - 06/02/2016 and BEFORE - AFTER). Analyzing the test result signals for the case of PGRSS deployment to the CEO 704 S, this is very significant (pbinomial = 0.0002) and the power of the test equal to 0.9993. Similar results were found for POLI 108 S (p <0.0001) and power 0.9998. This indicates the importance of qualification of servers for the Program implementation in both units worked. It was identified that the management of waste from the two units were not being operated properly in the different stages of the process, as segregation, packaging, identification, collection, storage, transport and disposal, and that the product of this research has met expected which was the implementation of PGRSS this service with line rate equal to or greater than 85% as established by the resolutions in force in the country, with the completion of the study.
