Free HAZRED training

An EU-Life funded project is to provide small machinery manufacturers with free training on hazardous waste reduction, as part of its commitment to helping industry cut hazardous waste.

Led by the Environment Agency, HAZRED is a partnership project between the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the Irish Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG), Envirowise, Groundwork, SafetyKleen, and the Waste Recycling Group.

The project, which has been running for over two years, has worked with a number of UK companies across six key industry sectors to identify opportunities to minimise hazardous waste output. Now, the project has announced that it will share best practice advice across the UK and Europe, starting with a training workshop at Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham on 17th October.

The workshop is open to any small company operating in one of six sectors: Machinery Manufacture, Construction, Motor Vehicles, Speciality Chemicals, Metal Finishing, and Photographic & Print.
