Course overview

This masterclass is ideally suited for anyone involved in dealing with waste management within a business or organisation. 

There is a legal obligation upon businesses to ensure that waste is handled and disposed of in the correct way. The regulations in this area are complex but compliance is essential. This course will give you the knowledge and skills to ensure you and your business are acting within the law. 

Managing waste involves critical and complicated regulations on how to handle and dispose of universal, special and hazardous waste. Companies need to ensure they understand and put into practice the strict regulations to ensure they are complying and not falling foul of the law. 

The regulations apply to “any person who imports, produces, carries, keeps, treats or disposes of controlled waste”. All reasonable care must be taken to not violate environmental permits, including waste disposal. It is also important to maintain written records of waste management, known as a 'waste transfer note'.

Not complying with these regulations can have serious consequences for businesses.

The speaker, a specialist in waste management compliance, will use case studies and real-world examples throughout this webinar to help bring the subject to life, ensuring delegates gain a full understanding of this important area.

This training course is part of our collection of Facilities Management Training Courses which offer a wide range of topics to help assist you in navigating potential risks in relation to fire safety, industrial accidents and all the vital aspects of facilities and property management.
