Environmental Protection Act
The Environmental Protection Act 1990, a UK act of parliament relating to restricted wastes is the successor to the Control of Pollution Act 1974 and makes provision for the management of pollution from industrial processes.
The Environmental Protection Act deals with issues relating to waste on land, defining all facets of waste management and places a responsibility on local authorities to accumulate waste. As a business, you’ve got a obligation to ensure that any waste your company creates is managed safely and within the law. This is your ‘duty of care’ and it applies to anyone who produces, imports, transports, stores, treats or disposes of controlled waste from company or sector.
The Duty of Care Regulations 1991 puts a responsibility over these people to:
Ensure that all waste materials are packaged and stored securely to prevent pollutants escaping into the environment.
Create a waste transfer note that provides an exact written description enabling anyone receiving it to dispose of the waste or handle it safely and appropriately.
