Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

PPE is mandatory on all operational tasks. As an insured waste removal service we enforce strict PPE protocols and provide, maintain and replace equipment to manufacturers' specifications. Standard PPE includes:

  • High-visibility clothing and protective outerwear
  • Steel-toe boots or safety footwear with puncture-resistant soles
  • Gloves suitable for waste handling, resistant to cuts and biological contaminants
  • Eye protection and face shields where splashes or dust are likely
  • Respiratory protection for dusty or fume-prone activities

Supervisors carry out pre-start checks to ensure PPE is in place and in serviceable condition. Any defective PPE is removed from use immediately and replaced so that safety is never compromised.

Risk Assessment Process

Our risk assessment methodology follows a simple, auditable process that supports the role of an insured commercial rubbish removal specialist: identify hazards, assess risks, implement controls and review effectiveness. Assessments are site-specific and take into account access constraints, pedestrian interfaces, waste types and environmental sensitivities.
