ABSTRACT

A good working environment has a great influence on the health of the employees and on their attitude towards their work. Also, the atmosphere within the workplace and how it gets rid of harmful fumes has a large effect on the local community. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) were aimed at providing protection for the health of employees inside the workplace and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA) set out to protect the community from a whole range of potential health hazards including those caused by work activities. The method of disposal of hazardous wastes is regulated by The Special Waste Regulations 1996 as amended.
