Health & Safety Consultants For Recycling

cotc training

Here at Business Safety Solutions, we are proud to be your trusted health and safety consultants for recycling companies and the industry as a whole. Whether you require health and safety audits, policy statements, or safe operation procedures, we are able to offer a wide range of services to ensure you are fully compliant with the latest legislation.

The main risk of hazards and injuries within the industry comes as a result of the collection, processing, disposal, and procurement of services. Health and safety within the recycling industry is far more than a box-ticking exercise, it’s actually the difference between keeping people safe or putting them in danger.

Call us today at 01244 455277 or use our contact form to book your FREE consultation.

Although injuries and accidents are possible within the industry whilst dealing with all types of waste, a lot of injuries are avoidable when health and safety practices are implemented. Business Safety Solutions are able to provide comprehensive health and safety services for commercial collection companies, ship hire companies, waste transfer companies, metal recycling businesses, and many more.

Employers within the waste and recycling industry are legally obligated to comply with the latest legislations and must do their utmost to ensure their businesses clearly fulfill health and safety laws. Collection activities are responsible for a large majority of the accidents within the industry which is why we will initially look at key areas of concern that include slips and trips, personal hygiene, noise whilst participating in glass collection, lifting injuries, and much more.

Recycling Health & Safety Services

Business Safety Solutions provide a wide range of health and safety services for recycling businesses to ensure full compliance. Services that we offer include the following;-

Safe Operating Procedures

Within the waste and recycling industry, there is regular lifting and heavy handling that goes on on a daily basis. Safe operating procedures consist of a written document that outlines step-by-step instructions on exactly how to perform a certain task or activity without getting injured. SOP (Safe Operating Procedures) are ideal for helping workers to carry out routine operations and also help to save time and money when introducing new employees. Business Safety Solutions have an abundance of experience with writing Safe Operating Procedures, an instructional document that breaks down the fundamentals to an essential task or activity. Without an SOP in place, a person may complete the task in their own way which could lead to an injury or fatality.

Health & Safety Audits

A health and safety audit essentially makes sure that your business is compliant with current health and safety regulations. Conducting a health and safety audit is essential to make sure you are avoiding legal pitfalls, complying with the latest legislation, and doing all you can to keep employers safe. As well as making sure you are compliant, it also helps to assess how well you’re following processes as well as overall performance. We believe that our approach that consists of honesty and integrity is the absolute key and what sets us apart. The health and safety audits that we conduct are honest, uncomplicated, and timely when a key decision needs to be taken. The main purpose of health and safety audits that we provide is to spot any potential hazards or loopholes that could result in employee injury, harm, and business prosecution. Risk assessment plays a big part in the health and safety audits that we carry out in the manufacturing sector.

WAMITAB Training

Business Safety Solutions provide WAMITAB training and offers a wide range of qualifications to suit the needs of different businesses. The scheme and training allow permitted waste facilities to demonstrate they employ technically competent people with the skills and knowledge to ensure waste sites comply with Environmental Permitting Regulations. We provide a truly flexible approach for all recycling and waste-type companies.

Gary came to my Osteopathic CPD group on 10th October 2020 on a zoom seminar. This was to give us reassurance of the health and safety procedures we have put in place for Covid 19. Gary readily and kindly agreed, giving an excellent well prepared presentation and easily with expert knowledge answered all our questions. I also found it very reassuring and helpful as he showed the dentistry and physiotherapy risk assessments he had implemented . The presentation helped to give confidence and reassurance to myself and osteopathic colleagues, that we have implemented the correct procedures of health and safety with full PPE and professional duty of care. Also Gary has been to my practice and brought all my professional policies of duty up to date. Fire Safety, Risk assessment, pathways for my practitioner team due to Covid. What a relief to have all this help and support, so all is professionally and expertly documented to give me peace of mind so I can concentrate on my work. Thank you so much and I will certainly recommend you most Highly.

“I became aware of Gary when he was being assessed for two Wamitab qualifications of Level 4 (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Transfer of Hazardous Waste) and (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Physical and Chemical Treatment of Hazardous Waste). His Assessor drew my attention to him and suggested that he would make a good assessor. I took an interest in his portfolio and found it to be well above average. I would be pleased to have Gary as an assessor through adversity he maintained a dignified attitude. His personal qualities included having a calm demeanour, good communicative skills and traditional values.”

"As a small business, it can be hard to find a trusted partner for H&S. The safety of our team is paramount, though spiralling costs were a concern. Gary perfectly understood the reality of being an SME and tailored and delivered a H&S package and Covid-19 audit, that fitted perfectly in our organisation (and our budget), with a sensible and effective approach."
The Goodlife Outdoor CompanyManaging Director
Our business has faced many new challenges due to the Covid-19 situation. With ever changing guidelines and with such important things at stake, we needed help and assurances that we were doing everything we needed to do as an employer to protect staff and protect the business. BSS performed a workplace audit for us and also provided so much useful information and resources to assist the business with our new fluid workforce requirement. After spending time with us in the office, BSS sent us a comprehensive action plan that we used to make our place of work safe. Gary’s clearly an experienced professional as his delivery method made it easy for us to understand a situation that’s previously done nothing but confuse us. We now have confidence that we have done what is required and we have shown that we are a responsible employer which is so important for us. The process was very efficient and all the paperwork arrived within days, as promised by BSS. We highly recommend BSS to all small businesses who want peace of mind about the safety of their offices and home working for staff.
