To properly dispose of hazardous waste and fulfill your Duty of Care, you'll need to keep detailed records for two years. Here's a summary of the documentation you'll need to maintain:
| Documentation Required | Detail |
|---|---|
| Receipts | Keep all receipts for disposal efforts. |
| Waste Transfer Notes | Required if using a contractor; must be specific about where the waste was taken, the type of waste, and the quantity. |
| Records of Disposal | Include where, what type, how much, and when the waste was disposed of. |
It's important to ensure that any contractor you engage is a registered waste carrier, as failing to do so could lead to penalties. If you're disposing of clinical waste, ensure you're adhering to specialist disposal guidelines. If you need more specific advice or procedures, feel free to consult the Waste and your duty of care page.
