Our industry continues to grasp the mantle of challenges to improve our Health, Safety and Environmental performance against a backdrop where the HSE report that the injury rate is considerably higher than other industries including construction and the EA conducted 335 successful prosecutions in 2011 with the highest fine being £170,000 and the longest custodial sentence being 27 months. With over a dozen deaths caused by waste industry activities and significant facility fires on a very frequent basis it is evident the the best practice found in our industry must be adopted as common practice.
As reported across the industry media outlets the HSE will be providing a particular focus on MRF operations in 2013 and with the MRF Code of Practice and Quality Action Plan likely to be enshrined in permitting regulations there is no time like the present to get ahead and review where you are and where you need to be.
Albion Environmental is offering a FREE one day environmental permit health check across the UK designed to offer an independent review of your permit and working plan against observed and developed practice. Our industry seasoned experts will provide you with a synopsis of any variations observed and recommendations towards best practice for future action. This service usually costs in excess of £500 and is available free for a limited time only.
