Our staff at Enviroguard have many years experience in the washroom services industry and have seen more regulation and legislation being introduced.Legislation has been introduced to protect people and the environment, at Enviroguard we ensure that all of our staff are fully trained and aware of current controls and procedures.
Certain waste such as soiled sanitary dressings, nappies, needles need to be disposed of in the correct manner. Employers have a legal duty to ensure that all hazardous waste is disposed of following the correct Duty of Care procedures.
If you are not sure about how you stand regarding the correct disposal of waste, please contact us through our online quote service or give us a call and we will be happy to help you.
All of our customers receive a "Duty Of Care" certificate to certify that their waste is being handled and disposed of in the correct manner. This document should be kept for a minimum of two years. These certificates are a legal requirement and are provided free of charge to you, unlike some other suppliers who charge for the certificates annually.
COSHH stands for the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. Hazardous substances can put people's health at risk. COSHH requires employers to control exposures to hazardous substances to protect both employees and others who may be exposed from work activities.
