Colour-Coded Segregation
Waste is logged by the four colour categories (yellow, red, white, blue) as defined in Schedule I of BMW Rules 2016.
BMW
BMW Rules 2016 Compliance
The Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules 2016 (MoEFCC) require hospitals to segregate, treat and dispose of waste by colour-coded category, maintain manifests for every handover to a Common Bio-medical Waste Treatment Facility (CBWTF), and submit annual returns to the State Pollution Control Board (SPCB). OneCity digitises the entire chain.
Why it matters
SPCB inspections can result in closure orders for non-compliance. Paper registers are error-prone and fail audits.
How OneCity covers it
Digital Manifest
Every handover to the CBWTF generates a digital manifest with weight, category, time and handler. The manifest is the proof of compliant disposal.
SPCB Forms
Form I (application for authorisation), Form II (annual report) and Form IV (accident reporting) data is compiled from the waste log.
Handler Training
Training records for BMW handlers are tracked with date, topic and trainer — required for authorisation renewal.

Every compliance area OneCity covers ties into the same audit trail and quality tracking used across the platform, not a separate reporting system. For how this fits your broader accreditation planning, see our guide to NABH accreditation software. If you are sequencing this alongside other compliance work, our guide to realistic ERP implementation timelines covers how hospitals typically prioritise overlapping requirements. See our guide to choosing hospital management software for how compliance fits into the broader evaluation.
