Manage the process for the preparation, transfer, transport and disposal of waste and treatment and recovery outputs and residues
Overview
This standard is about managing the processes for the preparation, transfer and transport of waste and the outputs and residues from treatment and recovery operations. This could apply to the transfer of outputs and safe disposal of residues arising from remediation of contaminated land. This could also apply to hazardous or non-hazardous materials on any type of waste management facility. It includes overseeing processes to prepare and store materials prior to transfer or disposal, checking materials are of an acceptable quality, that transfer or disposal happens when required and that documentation is correct. It also include following the specific safety requirements for the materials and processes involved. This standard applies to managers who oversee the processes for the transfer, transport and disposal of waste materials, outputs and residues in any type of waste management facility.
Performance criteria
You must be able to:
make sure materials are prepared for transport, transfer or disposal in accordance with legislative and organisational requirements
make sure the quality of materials prepared for transfer meet material quality standards of intended recipients
identify hazards and minimise risks to health, safety and the environment during preparation and transfer and disposal in line with legal and organisational requirements
ensure that safety requirements appropriate to the materials involved are followed at all times
make arrangements for the safe storage of materials that have been prepared for transfer in line with legislative and organisational requirements
make sure the preparation and transport or outputs and disposal of residues is carried out in line with organisational systems and procedures
ensure that the resources needed to carry out preparation, loading, transport and transfer operations are available when required
make sure the preparation, loading and transport is carried out when required by the organisation
manage the people involved to ensure that they follow appropriate organisational processes
ensure that transport documentation for all materials leaving the site is completed in line with legislative requirements and organisational procedures
verify that information contained in process documentation is accurate and relates to the materials involved
maintain records of all outputs and residues leaving site in accordance with legislative requirements and organisational procedures
rectify any issues that affect operations in line with legislative requirements and organisational procedures
communicate procedures to appropriate people at appropriate times
seek advice from appropriate specialists to resolve situations which are outside your responsibility

the types, functions and limitations of handling equipment available for use
the lifting and handling techniques that are suitable for the materials involved
hazards associated with transferring and transporting the materials involved in relation to health and safety and the environment
control measures to reduce or eliminate risks to safety, health and the environment
the organisational procedures for dealing with spillages and emissions
the types of personal protective equipment (PPE) required and how they must be used, maintained and stored
legal and organisational requirements for recording and reporting risks to health, safety and the environment
issues that could affect operations including staff or transport shortages, equipment deficiencies, spilages or external causes
