Do I need to change the way I work in order to comply to Environmental Legislation?

Yes and No.

Yes.

Example: Environmental Permitting Regulations 2006 - 2010

Some regulations such as the environmental permitting regulations may well require you to change the way you work, perhaps you are moving from an old "para" exemption or you have out grown your Environmental permitting exemption, either way the way you work may have to become a little neater in order to comply to a permit. Record will have to kept of what materials / waste come and go, and some people within your organisation may have to undergo some form of technical competence training.

No.

Example: Clean Air Act 1993

With most businesses operating within the boundaries set by this piece of legislation there will be no need to change the way you work in order to comply with this legislation. Unlike environmental permitting which a very proactive legislative tool, other acts and regulation work in the back ground and although compliance is necessary to prevent action against your operation / business, the chances are your operation / business already complies anyway.

Please Contact the Office if you have any questions.
