Environmental System

 

These include; Environmental Protection Act, Pollution Prevention & Control Act, Clean Air Act, Water Act, Noise Act, etc.

 

There are then a significant number of regulations that specify statutory legal requirements enforcing the acts, these form part of the criminal law in the UK.

 

Specifically, within the UK Environmental Protection Act 1990, companies have to exercise a 'duty of care' that particularly applies to wastes they produce.

That legislation is significantly reinforced by The Hazardous Waste (England & Wales) Regulations 2005.

These regulations also impose significant administrative duties, particularly in the keeping of records.

 

There are significant fixed penalty on the spot fines for non-compliance, in addition to very significant penalties for some offences.

 

Key to the legal requirements are the considerations that all wastes are to be considered as 'controlled' and that all hazardous wastes are to be coded per the European Waste Catalogue.

 

Within the new regulations there are an increased number of legal requirements placed upon the company to control all wastes, including hazardous and non-hazardous wastes, up to the point of acceptance by a licensed disposal site.

 

OE Services system specifically addresses the Information, Examples, Records and Schedules and Reminders, to allow managers to efficiently and effectively manage their business within the regulations, with least administrative distraction.

 

The system is written to as a 'business process' that may be adopted on any site as a stand alone operation, or, as part of a group, with the advantages of; standardisation, visibility remote audit and minimum operational time required to meet legislative requirements.

 

Where dealerships wish to further extend their management system to meet the requirements of ISO14001:2004, the system is structured to provide the elements required.
