Which description best matches Bio-Waste?

Which description best matches Bio-Waste?

• A. Blood only
• B. All body fluids (no blood) that cabin is expected to clean
• C. Solid waste
• D. Food waste

Answer: (B)

Bio-waste refers to waste that contains human biological material and could spread infection. In cabin cleaning, this includes body fluids that cleaners may encounter, such as vomit, urine, feces, saliva, and other fluids, not just blood. Blood is often treated separately in many guidelines, so describing bio-waste as all body fluids except blood aligns with how crews are instructed to identify and manage infectious waste in the cabin. The other descriptions are too narrow or don’t capture the range of fluids that can be contaminated and require careful handling.
