Waste Management Audits

The establishment of formal and documented audit processes enables waste producers to demonstrate compliance with regulations. Healthcare waste management is a complex process due to the varied types of waste produced, the potential risks to human health and the environment, and the increasing amounts of legislation involved. Since the implementation of the Hazardous Waste Regulations and the Environmental Permitting Regulations, auditing of your waste and segregation systems is a legal requirement and forms part of the conditions set down by the Environment Agency to ensure healthcare waste is safely disposed of. For many this is an annual requirement. Catalyst operate a wide range of audit services, that focus on the needs of the Trust, rather than the contractor. Our audits examine all waste types and look to ensure legal compliance and cost savings.
