A FREE afternoon briefing which will focus on changes to the Hazardous Waste Directive will be staged by Groundwork Business Environment Association (BEA) Bury later this month.
The event will be held at the BEA's Link House base in Walmersley Road, Bury, on Monday, November 22 between 3.30pm and 5.30pm.
The Hazardous Waste Directive changes will affect everyone who produces, collects, transports, stores, recovers or disposes of waste, including hazardous waste. Until now the list has included substances such as chemicals, asbestos and other toxic materials. The revised list included fluorescent tubes, televisions, computer monitors and cars.
Main speaker at the briefing will be Nigel Homer, enforcement officer with the Environment Agency.
Most of the changes are expected to come in to force in July 2005, although some are already in place. This briefing will allow delegates to gain an early understanding about the planned changes in regulations and get a head start to combat issues that may arise.
Those wishing further information should ring the BEA on 763 4185.
