Duty of Care

Audit Trail

Every business produces waste of some description and volume. All waste produced by your business or within your operation is regulated by waste laws.

You have a legal responsibility to ensure that you produce, store, transport and dispose of your business waste without harming the environment. This is called your duty of care.

If your business produces any kind of controlled waste you must comply with the duty of care. Most types of business waste are classed as controlled waste including household, commercial and industrial waste.

With the ever changing legislation regarding the handling and disposal of waste, it is imperative that correct paperwork including a full auditable trail is kept up to date. With our state of the art system we can not only keep you up to date with current legislation but also offer you the full paper trail from creation to disposal.

There are many examples of paperwork that can be required and obtained:

• Duty of Care
• Weight Tickets
• Consignment Notes
