HSE alerts inspectors to a planned inspection campaign within the waste and recycling industry during 20010/11. Inspections should be targeted at skip-hire operations and associated recycling activities, particularly those where hand sorting of recyclables ('totting') takes place, and has specific emphasis on management of workplace transport risks.

Continued Competence

CIWM and WAMITAB's 'Operator Competence Scheme' (the Scheme') for England and Wales only has a requirement for individuals to keep their competence up to date. Therefore all competent persons falling within the Scheme will be required to demonstrate Continuing Competence and this will be appropriate to the level of risk posed by the facility so that it remains proportional. Although this only applies to England and Wales if you wish to keep your qualification current for the whole of the UK you need to complete this test.
 
Further information relating to this scheme and how you book your test is available HERE
 
Albion has provided the following support to candidates to prepare them for completing this test.
 
We have prepared a mock test which is available HERE
This test is free to use and is available to anyone who registers and agrees to a disclaimer.
 
In addition we have also prepared a 1 day CIWM and WAMITAB's 'Operator Competence Scheme' refresher course to assist with candidate revision. The purpose of this course is to prepare candidates to allow them to successfully complete their test.
We will shortly be arranging a number of open courses around the UK further details to follow. Alternatively, if your organisation has a number of COTC holders, we would be happy to deliver the course inhouse for you up to a maximum of 16 candidates per session.
 
We trust you have found this information useful, if you wish to book an in house course please contact us 01292 610428 or online
