1Disposal of industrial wastage
Task 1:
It has been observed by analysing the records of the manufacturing industries present
in United Kingdom, that there are significant amounts of industrial wastage in those
manufacturing companies. These wastage are considered as industrial hazards which has a
huge impact on the workplace environment. Thus, In order to reduce the workplace hazards,
enhance the financial and environmental states the industry should adopt some wastage
legislation for their employees.
According to (Sang-Il 2016) several techniques present in industrial field to minimize the
wastage are described below:
Pre-Treatment of Industrial Wastage:
This procedure is followed by pre-processing of the raw materials. By adopting this
technique it will help to eliminate harmful elements from the raw materials, which will be
used by the industry. Thus, in order to reduce the industrial wastage the company must
include this technique in their wastage legislation process. The Environmental Permitting
(England and Wales) Regulations 2010 and Landfill Allowance Scheme (Wales) has been
imposing restriction on different type and amount of waste that can be disposed of in landfills
in England and Wales. The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste)
Regulations 2007 place responsibility on the producers of packaging waste to recover and
recycle a certain amount of packaging.
Maximum Utilization of raw material:
Another effective way of reducing the material wastage, the company must follow the
regulation of maximum material utilization. This process is followed by how the raw
materials can be used with maximum benefits, and what process should be followed to utilize

those materials. Following this procedure it will surely help the company to reduce their
wastage.
Recycling Process:
Recycling the waste materials is another affective way to reduce the industrial
wastage. Hence, the company must follow this process to minimize their wastage. In order to
recycle the industrial hazards the industry must assign the responsibility of transferring,
managing and disposing the wastage materials to the waste Carriers. The registered carriers
will transfer the waste materials from the work place and manage those materials. In October
2015, the UK government introduced a 5p charge for single use plastic bags handed out by
large retailers in England.
Task 2:
In order to identify the workplace hazards, there are several techniques which
includes one to one interview, risk assessment survey and collecting feedback from the
employees of that industries (Haimes 2015). The above mentioned risk assessment
approaches works followed by initiating a survey, later on form the survey result it
determines the affected areas and resources. While conducting the risk identification process
it has several steps to follow which are described below:
Step 1:
Identify the hazards- The responsibility of any employer is to assess the risk factor and
hazards which are faced by their co-workers and employees. Thus, the assessment team needs
to conduct a risk assessment survey.
Step 2:
