​Environmental Policy

 

The company is committed to the maintenance and improvement of the environment and to meet the requirements of ISO 14001. The Directors, and senior representatives, will ensure that the following measures are taken at all times:

 

•   All work will be carried out in full accordance with the latest environmental legislation, endeavouring at        all times to exceed all associated targets.

 

•   Waste will be kept to a minimum and recycling techniques will be utilised wherever possible.

 

•   All waste will be disposed of in a responsible manner at the appropriate and recognised site(s). Any          hazardous wastes will be disposed of in full accordance with the requirements of ‘The Hazardous Waste    Regulations 2005’, ‘The List of Waste Regulations 2005’ and any manufacturers’ instructions, under the      supervision of a ‘Competent Person’.

 

•   All works will be planned, and carried out, with due regard to the subsequent effects on the                         environment.

 

•   Materials will be chosen after their effect on the environment has been considered. Considerations will        include Source; disposal of surplus; renewable options over irreplaceable ones; effects on surrounding        habitat and environmental effects during lifecycle.  

 

•    Materials will be stored such that any spills or leakages will not adversely affect the surrounding area,         or contaminate water sources, and will not mix with other materials. COSHH assessments will be               carried out on all hazardous substances.

 

•    The consumption of natural resources will be kept to a minimum.

 

•   The use of fuel will be kept to a minimum and ‘environmentally friendly’ options will be used where              possible to help prevent pollution.

 

•   Where it is impossible to eliminate noise, emissions will be kept to a minimum at all times.

 

•   During operations, the production of dust will be minimised by appropriate techniques. Where                      appropriate, a COSHH assessment will be carried out on the dust produced.

 

Regular reviews of working practices will be undertaken to minimise their effects on the environment and ensure continuous improvement as the company grows and develops. These reviews will include the latest technology, whilst being mindful of current environmental issues.
