Hi Kelley

Are you looking for Healthcare Waste Management Specialist (HWMS)?

I did a search for "Healthcare Waste Management Specialist (HWMS) list .pdf" and discovered that there is no single, publicly available, standardized global list for them.  You can try doing the same search and see what you get.  This is what I got since I am based in Malaysia:

Professional certifications and lists of qualified waste management personnel are generally managed by specific certification bodies, national or regional government agencies, or private consulting firms. 

Information regarding certified specialists can be found through the following avenues:

Professional Bodies and Certifications

• Certification Registries: Organizations that offer certifications in healthcare or biomedical waste management (e.g., the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Materiel Management - IAHCSMM, or similar environmental/waste management organizations) typically maintain a registry of certified individuals. Access to these lists may be restricted to members or employers for verification purposes.
• Consultancy Networks: Some consulting platforms, like My waste solution, provide profiles of experts and consultants in biomedical and hazardous waste treatment and disposal, including their experience and specializations. 

Government and Regulatory Agencies

Lists of individuals or companies licensed to handle healthcare waste are often maintained by government environmental or health departments. These lists typically focus on licensed facilities or transporters, rather than individual specialists.

• Environmental Protection Departments: In Malaysia, for example, the Department of Environment (DOE) manages the eSWIS (electronic Scheduled Waste Information System) where you might find lists of licensed scheduled waste facilities and transporters on the eSWIS website.
• Ministry of Health (MOH): Health ministries often provide guidelines and policies on waste management, but do not usually publish lists of individual specialists. 

Alternative Resources

• Company Directories: Major healthcare waste management service providers (e.g., Clinwaste, Radicare in Malaysia) employ specialists, and while the companies are listed, individual employee lists are proprietary.
• Academic and Training Institutions: Universities or private training providers that run HWMS courses may maintain internal alumni networks or provide verification of certifications issued. 

To find a specific specialist or verify credentials, it is recommended to contact the relevant national regulatory body or the professional certification issuer directly.
