HSE Circulate New Research
The Health & Safety Executive has published a new research report entitled: Collecting, Transfer, Treatment and Processing household waste recyclables.
Based on the increase of people working within the waste management and recycling industry, it is reasonable to assume that there will be greater exposure to Health & Safety related hazards. The HSE has identified that the provision of appropriate guidance, tools or Personal Protective Equipment could greatly reduce the associated risks and could overall enable local authorities to select the most appropriate systems to ensure environmental targets are met with the least possible threats.
