THE BRIEF
Albus Environmental were approached by Horder Healthcare who were looking to partner a clinical waste disposal company that valued their clients, offered value for money and mirrored their high standards in environmental and financial sustainability.
THE ALBUS ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH
Site visits were initiated encompassing audits of the healthcare waste management activated at various departments within the site. The audit included a review of the relevant documentation, inspection of the clinical and waste handling areas, meetings with relevant staff and where appropriate, questioning of current segregation and waste handling. The audit report was shared with Horder Healthcare to enable them to evaluate the expert observations and recommended improvements. All activities included the correct categorisation, segregation and description of wastes to satisfy that systems going forward would be safe, compliant and effective to ensure correct and safe disposal.
