| Abstract |
This leaflet is produced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in consultation with the Waste Industry Safety and Health Forum (WISH). It is written for supervisory staff and employees and provides a checklist of standards to aim at. This leaflet does not interpret the health and safety law, nor does it claim to be comprehensive or definitive in its advice and guidance; for example, guidance on waste collection activities has been excluded. However, reference to this leaflet may help to enable duty holders in the industry to devise, institute, monitor and revise methods of work at their sites.
