The correct classification of waste ensures compliance with legislation, protects human health, and minimises environmental impact, while the reuse of soils in construction and landscaping reduces the need for new materials, significantly lowering a project's environmental footprint.

A Health and Safety audit is an essential process that ensures your organisation's policies, procedures, and practices are up to standard. It involves a comprehensive review of key elements, starting with documentation. This means assessing your health and safety policies, risk assessments, training records, and incident reports. The audit also includes a thorough inspection of the workplace to identify potential hazards, followed by employee interviews to gauge awareness and compliance with health and safety procedures. Compliance checks are conducted to ensure your organisation adheres to relevant legislation and standards, while performance evaluations focus on reviewing past incidents and near-misses to pinpoint trends and highlight areas for improvement.
