The waste management industry is heavily regulated, in order to minimise or eliminate the dispersal of waste materials into the environment. The legislation states that records should be kept relating to the weight of waste materials handled.
Michael McLarnon of ISL Waste Management and a contributor to the white paper, said: âFailure to comply with weighing regulation could mean your business is hit with heavy fines.
âIt is important to have company policy and ISO accredited procedures in place to ensure compliance with weight regulation.â
Marsdenâs Managing Director, Richard Black, added: âWeight legislation in waste management is complex and it is vital that companies understand the regulation, which is why weâve produced this new, easy to read guide.
âWith the weight of waste so integral to reporting that it is vital the right scales are used. This guide outlines clearly what should be reported, how frequently, and the scales suitable for the job.â
