• Environmental Management Systems

These are a requirement of your permit, so having one in place is a key compliance issue for the Regulator. It is important that it is not simply a tick box document and does actually work for you to generate real business benefits. We can work with you to make sure that your existing system is effectively reviewed and adapted, where necessary, to make it fit for purpose.

For some operators they may want to take the EMS to a different level and get it formally certificated to ISO14001. This again is something we can help with, having worked with a number of certification bodies, we can take you through the whole process.

• Environmental Compliance Audits

Having a regular ‘once over’ can be really useful to keep things in order and running smoothly. It is something that you do with your plant and machinery and may even be something that you do with your staff in terms of performance reviews and health checks, therefore wouldn’t it be a good idea to do the same with your most important asset, your business?

We realize that running a business is a difficult task, particularly with the bucket loads of environmental legislation that you need to comply with. Therefore an Environmental Compliance Audit can be used to confirm what is working well and what areas might need tweeking. For example, we could carry out an audit of your Permit, your duty of care paperwork, or your Management System.

• Health & Safety Management Systems

For many companies health and safety can be a minefield of regulations, requirements and demands. This can often lead to a piecemeal response, picking on some bits and neglecting others that may seem too difficult, or too expensive. This can be dangerous, not just literally, but also for the pocket should problems arise.

We can help you by developing a planned, co-ordinated health & safety system. This can make all the difference by focusing on what is important and following this through to practical application on site.

• Fire Risk Assessments

This is one of the main issues affecting the industry, with roughly one fire a day in the waste sector! Not unsurprisingly this is causing concern amongst regulators, the fire service and insurance companies.

Despite it being a legal requirement, many waste companies don’t have a fire risk assessment. This could lead to a hefty fine, but even worse, could put people’s lives at risk.

We can help you to complete and implement a compliant fire risk assessment.

• Pest Control

Unfortunately waste sites can be a bit of a battle ground with pesky vermin of all shapes and sizes. To provide some practical support we have teamed up with a specialist pest control company (TRG Pest Control) and can provide a full range of eradication services!!
