OBJECTIVES : To assess the pre-existing knowledge regarding segregation and handling in biomedical wastages, plan a structured teaching programme on segregation and handling in biomedical wastages and to assess the post existing knowledge regarding segregation and handling in biomedical wastages. METHODOLOGY: Research design is Non experimental qualitative research design and the approach is Descriptive approach .RESULTS: Majority ten (33.3%) workers are says that infectious waste or hazard materials that may harm people, (36.7%) are says that all the above are the hazard of biomedical waste and eighteen (60%) peoples are says that all the above are the collect and dispose.
