HSE – Waste Management Companies Reminded not to Forget the Basics
HSE asks waste management companies to remember to control other serious health and safety risks when operating their business, while taking measures to reduce the chances of COVID-19 infection.
At the moment many waste companies are reporting lower than usual levels of sickness absence. However, they are seeing a rise in near misses with a high potential for a serious accident and there is a perception that the workforce may be forgetting the ‘basic’ risks in their focus on COVID-19.
