Waste Duty of Care applies to everyone who handles wastes, whether as a producer, carrier or waste management organisation. This virtual training programme explores these obligations and how to comply with the Duty of Care Code of Practice.
The programme gives a good opportunity to share a range of ideas and best practice examples from both tutors and others working in a variety of settings.
What will I learn on the course?
