A half-day in-company waste management course — giving your workforce the knowledge to handle, store and transfer waste correctly, meet the legal duty of care, and use the right documentation.
Waste Management Awareness is delivered in-company — train a whole team or department together in a single half-day.
Waste Management Awareness training is a half-day course that gives employees the knowledge to manage waste correctly — understanding waste legislation, the legal duty of care, the documentation that must accompany waste, and how to handle and store it safely. It is delivered in-company and needs no prior knowledge.
Every business that produces, handles or transfers waste carries a legal duty of care for it — set out in section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Getting waste management wrong — wrong documentation, the wrong carrier, poor storage — risks prosecution, fines and reputational damage. This course gives the workforce a clear, practical understanding of how waste should be managed and what the law requires, so the organisation stays compliant. KeyOstas delivers it in-company at your premises or as a live virtual classroom.
This is an awareness-level course focused on waste. If you need broader environmental training or a qualification, a different course fits better.
By the end of the half-day every delegate will know how to manage waste correctly and meet the legal duty of care.
Understand the section 34 duty of care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and what it requires.
Understand the key environmental legislation governing how waste must be managed.
Understand the Waste Duty of Care Code of Practice and how to apply it.
Apply the waste hierarchy and practical strategies to prevent waste being generated in the first place.
Use Waste Transfer Notes and hazardous waste consignment notes correctly.
Handle, segregate and store waste — including hazardous waste — safely and compliantly.
The half-day programme is tutor-led and discussion-based, organised into four areas.
This is an awareness course — the focus is understanding and discussion, not a formal exam.
Understanding is checked through interactive discussion and exercises across the half-day.
