Hazmat Safety Priorities for Waste Collection Companies

Health, Safety, Security, and Sustainability Risks

Beyond regulatory compliance, the collection of hazardous waste, its disposal or recycling of carries health and safety risks requiring management at a corporate level:

• People, Environment, Assets and Reputation (PEAR) risks 
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) risks
• Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risks 
• Responsible Care® risks
• Business Continuity (BC) Risks

Organizations involved in the collection of hazardous waste, its disposal or recycling have the responsibility of complying with various regulations surrounding the safe transportation and handling of chemicals, training of their staff and, incident preparedness, response and recovery.

Hazardous waste may be classified as Hazardous Materials / Dangerous Goods for transportation under one or more transport modes. Recycled waste products re-entering the supply chain may also have classifiable hazards under the supply  regulations. Compliance support across multiple jurisdictions/countries is therefore required, which CHEMTREC’s range of services is designed to cater for.
