Are you confident your organisation is meeting its waste duty of care obligations? Understanding and complying with waste duty of care requirements can be challenging. This tutor-led online course gives you a clear understanding of your legal responsibilities, along with practical tips to help ensure your organisation remains compliant.
Delivered over two interactive online modules, the course covers everything you need to know about waste duty of care legislation and how it applies to organisations that produce waste.
Waste management is one of the most common areas of non-compliance we identify during environmental legal compliance audits. Common issues include the incorrect storage of waste, incomplete or inaccurate waste documentation, and a lack of understanding of waste duty of care requirements. It’s also an area that ISO 14001 certification auditors frequently examine in detail.
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the waste duty of care requirements for organisations that produce waste, helping you understand your legal responsibilities and the practical steps needed to achieve and maintain compliance.
To accommodate busy schedules, the course is delivered remotely over two interactive modules on separate days, reducing online learning fatigue while giving participants time to absorb the material. Our experienced consultants are qualified trainers who deliver engaging, practical sessions designed to maximise learning and encourage discussion.
Attendance at both modules is required to successfully complete the course.
Please note, due to the differences in waste legislation across the different jurisdictions in the UK, this course focuses on those that apply in England. If you are interested in courses for other jurisdictions, please let us know.
