Consolidated DOT Shipping Descriptions

PharmEcology Services, WM Healthcare Solutions, Inc
PharmEcology Services, WM Healthcare Solutions, Inc announces that its PharmE Waste Wizard and PharmE Inventory Analysis now present consolidated DOT shipping descriptions to help simplify the management of pharmaceutical waste. PharmEcology has determined the appropriate DOT shipping description for each of the containers it recommends as part of its pharmaceutical waste categorization. This simplifies the process and, as a result, PharmEcology estimates that DOT’s broad shipping description for Waste Medicine will apply to 97% of a hospital’s hazardous pharmaceutical waste. This enhancement also addresses the remaining 3% of pharmaceutical waste items, taking into account requirements for corrosives, oxidizers, aerosols, biohazardous items, dual waste items, controlled substances, bulk chemicals, and other considerations.
