Overview
What this RAVS document does
Mishandled hazardous waste can mean regulatory fines, environmental damage, and harm to workers. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor plans, controls, trains for, and reports on waste management.
This document states your company's environmental and hazardous waste management program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: planning and assigning responsibilities, compliance and corrective action, training, storage, spill kits and spill reporting, project and wastewater disposal, recycling, and protective equipment. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
