The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) provides a wide range of advice and guidance on how companies and organisations can ensure the working conditions of their workplaces are safe, healthy and compliant.
This advice is generated for different specific “problem” sectors.
One of these sectors is the waste & recycling industry.
As we often point out the waste industries performance is historically much worse than UK averages.
The HSE has released a Sector Plan for the Waste and Recycling industry. This outlines their main objectives in dealing with companies operating in this area.
