Waste Analysis

Albion Environmental Ltd is pleased to announce they recently conducted a Waste Analysis service through Lend Lease for Avondale.
 
The service can be provided for un-segregated waste, segregated waste and residual waste. Detailed Method Statement and Risk Assessments are discussed and agreed with the client.
Waste analysis will be carried out as per the ‘Scottish Household Waste Analysis Methodology’ specification. This document lists 18 categories in which the waste will be sorted into. In previous waste analyses we have broken down the waste further into sub-categories which total 31 different fractions
 
Albion Environmental Ltd is an experienced Waste Analysis contractor (see attached client list) and we will provide the following as standard-
  • Provision of experienced analysis supervisor.
  • Trained and experienced staff that have completed waste analysis work before.
  • All staff will be trained as a minimum in manual handling, safe handling of waste and needle stick injuries.
  • We will also ensure that at least one member of staff will be an appointed First Aid person for the duration of the work.
  • All necessary PPE for staff as per Risk Assessment.
  • Electronic scales to allow accurate weighing of waste types.
  • All necessary equipment to complete analysis with the exception of wheeled bins to sort waste into.
A copy of our Waste Audit Procedure which includes standard risk assessment, needle stick injury procedure and COSHH assessments can also be provided for your information
Waste Analysis service is primarily geared at gaining good quality, consistent data to allow Organisations to continue to expand and improve their collection methods. For further information and informal discussion please contact us.

Continued Competence England & Wales

As 29th February has now passed, Continuing Competence tests that were required to be achieved by that date have now concluded. If you were required to achieve your test by the 29th February but have not done so, please refer to your Environment Agency regulator for further guidance.
It is now the second period of Continuing Competence testing, lasting from 1st March 2012 to 28th February 2014.
In England and Wales only CIWM and WAMITAB's Operator Competence Scheme (the Scheme) has a requirement for individuals to keep their competence up to date. Therefore all competent persons falling within the Scheme are required to demonstrate ‘Continuing Competence’ and this will be appropriate to the level of risk posed by the facility so that it remains proportional.
The type of facility, and whether this was previously exempt or not, will determine how a person demonstrates they have maintained their competence
More information and full details can be found on the WAMITAB website.
If you need any advice on CoTC or Continued Competence, please contact us on 01292 610428 or info@albion-environmental.co.uk
