Waste Disposal

High risk vs Low risk

Environmental considerations

Solid waste – Incineration (preferred)– Disposal at waste dump (low risk only)– Processing prior to disposal (high risk)

Liquid waste– Municipal system (with Municipal approval)– Septic tank – French drain (low risk only)– Evaporation dams within securely fenced area– Controlled drainage

1414




Management Commitment

Record keeping– pH register– Pest control register

Access control– Perimeter fence with locked gates– Control over staff movements– Control over clients to ‘raw’ side

General housekeeping– Premises kept clear of ‘things’– Cleaning and disinfection
