These products don’t break down quickly enough in the wastewater system (or at all) and can end up clogging our sewers and your pipes. Even if they say they’re flushable, these products go in the garbage. It costs Metro Vancouver and its members $2.5 million every year to de-clog pump stations, replace damaged equipment and deal with clogged sewers. What if the label says ‘flushable’? Products that say they’re flushable – like tampons and wipes – may make it down your toilet, but they might not make it through the sewer. There are currently no regulations to specify which products can be labelled “flushable”. Cities around the world are developing standards to more accurately label whether or not products are truly flushable. For now, put them in the trash (including wipes labelled “compostable” or “biodegradable”). How to dispose of expired medications Medications are not fully removed in the wastewater treatment process and some chemicals may end up in our environment. Keep these pollutants out of our waterways: dispose of expired medications by taking them back to a local pharmacy. https://lnkd.in/g5wUVd_e

On recruitment interviews, in Ouma v Cabinet Secretary, Agriculture & another; Dima & 2 others (Interested Parties) (Petition E003 of 2024) [2024] KEELRC 880 (KLR) (24 April 2024) (Judgment), the Petitioner contended that there was manipulation of the interview scores as some of the applicants were not scored by one of the panelists. The 2nd Respondent explained that this was because the interview process took 2 days, and one of the panelists only attended the interviews on the first day. The court’s view was that to invalidate the outcome of the process on the ground that a panelist was absent on one day, the consideration should be whether the remaining panelists formed a quorum. In this case, out of the 9 panelists, 8 of them conducted the interviews on both days and the 2nd Respondent used the scores of the 8 panelists to score the applicants. For that reason, the court found that the allegation of manipulation was not proved. Read the full case at https://lnkd.in/dBjPYG-j #employmmentlaw
