To improve team efficiency and provide a lone working solution Albion have signed up with Aeromark (Orange network partner) and Securi Guard to provide a vehicle and lone worker tracking solution.

All Albion company vehicles are now fitted with a tracker which can be viewed on line via orange web site. Staff are also issued with a personal panic / distress button, which can be used remotely from their vehicle. Calls from the distress system are monitored by secure guard 24 hrs per day to react to any incidents as and when they occur.

System is now live and Albion is delighted with the information provided by the system.

It is now almost a year since we appointed Billy Anderson as our QUENSH (Quality, environmental, safety and health) Manager. Billy has a wealth of experience from providing Health and Safety consultancy services to the construction industry.

Billy has steadily built up our range of clients including civil engineering companies, waste management companies and local authorities. We continue to increase our workload in this area even during the current economic downturn. This is being achieved by delivering a high quality and practical level of service which the clients require to allow them to carry out their operations safely.

In order to cope with the increased work load Jonathan Love is now working alongside Billy to supply these Health and safety consultancy services to our clients.

If you wish to discuss what we can do for you please do not hesitate to contact Billy Anderson.

The recent ending (31st March 2009) of SEPA’s decision not to charge for WML and PPC application fees has resulted in Albion submitting a number of applications in March 2009. Applications included –
• PPC application for Billy Bowie – Vertical compost unit (VCU) system is currently operational under an existing Waste management Licence.
• PPC application for GP Plantscape – this is a new application for in vessel composting system to supplement the existing green waste windrow composting facility on site.
• New Town Skips – waste management licence application for new transfer station proposed for Motherwell.

The application for another two in vessel composting systems capable of dealing with animal by product waste confirms Albion’s expertise in this field. Out of the seven ABP compliant composting systems currently approved by DEFRA in Scotland Albion Environmental has been working five of them.

If you have any queries regarding –
• In vessel composting technology
• Waste management Licence and Pollution Permit control applications
• Animal by product requirements including SVS approval
• Use of product including PAS100 requirements
