New code of practice for Duty of Care in NI
Published: 17 Aug 2012
The Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland (DoE NI) has issued a new code of practice in order to provide practical guidance for everyone who is subject to the Duty of Care under the Waste and Contaminated Land (Northern Ireland) Order SI 1997/2778.
As well as setting out the general requirements of the Duty of Care, the Code of Practice is split into a series of sections covering:
- waste producers;
- carriers;
- managers;
- brokers/dealers; and
- households.
This should help you find the most relevant guidance.
