The Regulators are getting tough on polluters.

The course covers key legislation, good practice for bunding and storage, health and safety considerations, application of absorbents and other materials, risk assessment and procedures.
Courses are tailor made to the site and its activities.
Clients around the UK include those within power generation, automotive, oil, food, manufacturing, logistics and even the Environment Agency.
Additional courses include waste management for business, waste and environmental law, environmental awareness and ISO14001, Carriage of Dangerous Goods, CIWM Waste Awareness Certificate, and many more.
