This intensive one-day course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Waste Management (CIWM) and covers the key elements of waste management, waste minimisation and helps your organisation stay within the law. It is designed for those people who require a sound understanding of the issues involved in satisfying legal requirements and the associated practical implications including waste minimisation.
Introduction
Waste management legislation is complex and getting it wrong could land your company, and those responsible for any breach, in court. Managing your company’s waste properly is not just about covering the legal angles. Waste is gradually becoming more expensive but, with costs spread around the organisation, the total waste and its cost are not always obvious. If you are not looking at waste costs – then what about your competitors? This course identifies the legal obligations of all those handling waste and provides practical solutions for waste management practices and significant cost savings. Companies with ISO 14001 certified systems can demonstrate improved competency in their management of waste and particularly if seeking improvements in this area this course can help to identify potential opportunities. Delegates are required to complete a multi-choice exam paper at the end of the course.
Who Should Attend?
All those with responsibility for ensuring waste management is dealt with in a legally proper manner and those who are seeking to improve their understanding of the legislation in place on waste. It is also useful for those who are trying to improve their company waste management.
