Description
When we talk about waste, then it refers to any solid, liquid, or container with gas that is discarded or recycled. Any used or unwanted material becomes waste when it has no further economic value to a company or person.
Waste is considered ‘hazardous’ when it contains substances or has properties that might make it harmful to human health or the environment.
Some of the common hazardous waste include:
- Paint
- Fuel
- Aerosol Cans
- Degreasers
- Solvent Soaked Rags
- Spill Debris
- Mineral spirits
The Hazardous Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2005, outline the control and tracking of hazardous waste. This covers registration of hazardous waste producers and recording the movement of hazardous waste.
Our hazardous waste toolbox talk helps keep employees safe and reduce health and safety issues in workplaces where hazardous waste is generated as part of the work that is carried out.
