Risk Assessments (Waste Storage and Disposal)
Prior to the storage and disposal of waste on-site, a risk assessment must be undertaken using the BBC risk assessment process. A record of the risk assessment must be held on site and mitigation measures implemented as identified before the storage and disposal of the waste takes place.
 
The following factors must be considered:
  • The location of the storage facility and its proximity to rivers and other controlled waters including surface water drains.
  • The volume of waste to be stored or disposed of.
  • Whether the waste is confidential.
  • Whether the disposal company is a registered waste carrier and are there provisions for waste transfer notes.
  • The adequacy of containment and other pollution control measures.
  • The arrangements for disposal route.
  • The security and integrity of the area containing the storage facility to ensure pollution does not occur to the surrounding area.
