HazMat Audit Accounts for Assets

05/18/2007 8:45 AM

If you deal with hazardous materials of any kind, then you can improve environmental performance, safeguard employee health, and avoid economic sanctions with hazmat audits. The focus on pollution prevention will reduce hazardous waste and risks to workers while obviating the need for costly cleanups. Benefits highlighted in a case study of Canadian Air Force Base Borden, Ontario, are applicable to every industry. The HazMat Management article reports how implementing audit recommendations helps tackle smaller issues before serious problems arise. Can a hazmat assessment elevate environmental compliance levels in your operations?

The latest changes in Canada's labour Code does not transfer risk by outsourcing. The latest changes makes it everyones responsibility (and liability) to ensure safety.

It is no longer just the supervisors responsibility.

Outsourcing is just adding someone elses bad practices to your worksite.

In the UK, control and protection is covered under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations [CoSHH].
