The Rubbermaid Commercial Step-On Trash Can, Medical Waste, creates hands-free sanitary waste management. These trash cans are ideal for areas where medical waste originates, including patient rooms, lab procedure rooms, and emergency rooms. The garbage can features tough puncture-resistant all-plastic construction and quiet heavy-duty pedal for hands-free sanitary use. These garbage cans offer a slow-close integrated lid damper to help keep odors and bacteria from escaping. They assist in complying with OSHA regulation; 29 CFR 1910.1030 "Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens."
