Waste Duty of Care – Online Course (Tutored)

desk_industrybg 2

Are you fully compliant with the requirements of waste duty of care at your organisation? Could you benefit from assistance in making sure you understand all the requirements and how they apply to you?

We see issues regarding waste at almost every site we carry out environmental legal compliance audits for – whether it’s to do with the storage of waste or making sure all the relevant waste documentation is in place and correct. It’s also a topic we find ISO 14001 certification auditors love to dig into! This course looks at the detailed requirements of waste duty of care for those who produce waste at their organisation.

This course is designed to be delivered remotely to fit in with your busy schedule. It’s split into two modules which will be delivered on different days to avoid online training fatigue. Our consultants are qualified virtual trainers and as a team we know that attendees will get more out of this format than an all-day remote training course. You need to attend both modules in order to complete the course.

“This is an excellent course for anyone wanting to understand their responsibilities under the Waste Duty of Care.” – University of Cambridge

Course Overview

Module 1

We’ll start to build a foundation of knowledge about waste, exploring what waste is covered by a duty of care, why you need to comply, and the key steps to compliance.

We will cover the following topics:

  • What is waste duty of care?
  • What the 5 key steps are to comply with waste duty of care.
  • Waste carriers, brokers, dealers.
  • Environmental permits and waste exemptions.
  • What information you need about waste contractors and how to find and check this information.
  • An introduction to what waste paperwork is required.
  • Understanding and implementing the waste hierarchy.

Module 2

In Module 2 we’ll take a deeper dive into waste paperwork to ensure you understand all of the requirements and how the paperwork should be completed.

Module 2 will cover:

  • What is the difference between hazardous and non-hazardous waste?
  • The requirements regarding waste documentation.
  • How to complete a waste transfer note.
  • How to complete a hazardous waste consignment note.
  • How to identify the correct European Waste Catalogue (EWC) codes to use on your organisation’s waste documentation.

Please note, due to the differences in waste legislation across the different jurisdictions in the UK, this course currently focuses on those that apply in England. If you are interested in courses for other jurisdictions, please let us know.
