The teaching and research laboratories of the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) contribute with a significant share in the generation of Health Services Waste (HSW). This study aimed to perform a diagnosis on the management of the HSW generated in teaching and research laboratories of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), São Carlos Campus. It is an exploratory and descriptive field research, using quantitative variables. The research was carried out in 168 teaching and research laboratories of the Biological Sciences and Health Center (BSHC) and the Exact Sciences and Technology Center (ESTC) of UFSCar. 168 people who were in charge for the laboratories participated in the survey. The data were collected through a self-respond questionnaire, using an instrument adapted from Veiga (2011). Data collection began after the approval of the Research Ethics Committee (REC) of UFSCar. The data was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. The results showed that the UFSCar laboratories generate HSW of Groups A, B, C, D and E. It is noteworthy that 33.8% of the laboratories generated biological waste, 67.9% chemical waste and 59.5% perforating waste. Regarding the segregation, 73.2% of the laboratories segregated biological waste, 76.5% and 86%, respectively, segregated chemical waste and perforating waste. As for stowage, 66.1% of the laboratories stowaged the biological waste in identified containers, 89.9% and 77%, respectively, of the laboratories that generated chemical waste and perforating agents stowaged the waste in identified containers. Furthermore, in 72.5% of the laboratories, the residues were transported manually; 39.3% of the laboratories did not have an exclusive place to store the HSW. Regarding the treatment of HSW, in 27% of the laboratories, the biological waste was submitted to autoclave treatment, in 18% 7.9% of the laboratories the chemical waste and perforating agents were incinerated, and in 4.3% the common waste was sent for recycling. In addition, 32.8% of those responsible did not know how the external collection was performed; and, 77% did not know the type of final disposal. As for the reuse and recycling actions, 41.1% stated that the common waste was recycled; still, 82.1% of the laboratories did not have HSWMP and 83.3% of the laboratories that had the plan did not use standards for its construction. It is considered that the management of HSW in the teaching and research laboratories of BSHC and ESTC of UFSCar is being carried out adequately; however, it has gaps in relation to the knowledge of participants about the management of HSW. The need to build a HSWMP is highlighted, as well as the development of permanent education programs, focusing on chemical residues, in order to improve the knowledge of the academic population, user of these laboratories.
