One qualitative analysis was carried out, initially, with the purpose of recognizing the nonconformities that exist in relation to the current legislation related to the subject in question. Subsequently, proposals for improvements to the top management of the establishment were presented, which were successful, and approved in the execution. So, educational posters were developed, presented in them the Waste Groups, in order to assist the professionals in the correct segregation; training and recycling in order to reduce the nonconformity indexes, financial expenses with waste, and provide better Biosafety conditions to the establishment, its employees and service providers. Then, a new data collection was performed to evaluate what had improved in the GRSS in the establishment.
