Skip Hire and the Annual Environmental Risk Report

On April 1, 2006, under the Operator and Financial Regulations, London stock market-listed companies have been required to submit their environmental risks reports in their year-end Annual Reports and Accounts. These companies included Skip Hire companies, and they have to submit a detailed and clear accounting about how they pose as a risk to the environment. The report must also include explanations on how they manage, reduce or altogether eliminate these risks. Companies have also been required to submit a report on the progress of the measures they adopted on reducing the threats their operation posed to the environment as well as a report on the impact of these measures using their performance indicators. This regulation has been implemented in order to create an awareness of companies about the possible risks they do post to the environment as a whole. This will also ensure that companies will have an understanding of the impact their operations create to the community's Health and Safety.

If your business involves skip hire, chances are you are required by law as well to submit an annual environmental risk report as skip hire business operations do tend to pose as a possible threat to the environment as well as a threat to the health and safety of the public. As a skip hire company operator, your responsibility is not just limited to providing Skip locks and Skip lights for your skips, Skip nets and Skip ramps for your operation or Safety Clothing for your workers. All these items may have cost you AND you probably had to secure a Commercial Mortgage to acquire all these things, but they are only secondary to your primary responsibility of ensuring that your business does not, in any way, create a threat to the safety of the public and the environment. If you are not doing your own recycling business, try to make sure that you are employing the proper Waste Management measures. Tie up with recycling companies that has the best equipment, like a good and functional Screen Trommel, which would ensure that precautionary measures are observed to keep the environment clean and safe.
