The Red Industries Group aims to provide superior Waste Management Services to its customers on time and within budget, and enhance customer satisfaction with our services. We believe that providing a high quality service to our customers in a sustainable and safe manner, is intrinsically linked to good business performance and driving the continued rapid growth of our organisation.

We seek to efficiently collect and treat hazardous and non-hazardous waste materials through innovation in recycling and chemical treatment technologies. We will comply with all legal requirements; re-use and recycle wastes wherever possible; minimise our environmental impact; and ensure that the safety of our staff and all persons affected by our activities is paramount.

The Group provides a collection service for solid and liquid waste materials, offers advice to customers on the handling and disposal of hazardous wastes, and operates BAT compliant treatment and transfer facilities in Staffordshire and Fife. All of our activities are conducted within an organised Integrated Management System which meets the standards of the following International Standards for business management:

• • ISO 9001: 2008 for quality management;
• • ISO 14001: 2004 for environmental management; and
• • OHSAS 18001: 2007 for health and safety management.

The management system enables us to maintain a structured organisation where our employees are well trained and informed, and work to a consistently high standard across all disciplines. All employees are made aware of and expected to fully understand the requirements of this Policy. The Management Manual outlines the scope and structure of our business and management system, and the documents within. The policy outlines the standards that we set for our business – we will train and monitor all departments and personnel to ensure that these requirements are met, and that they are fully aware of their individual responsibilities under the management system. The health and safety performance of the Group is a collective effort – Senior Management will ensure that all required systems, procedures, risk assessments and safety equipment is provided; all individuals are responsible for their own safety and others in complying with the system requirements, reporting any problems, and providing Senior Management with information to help improve the system and our performance.

We will comply with all legal requirements associated with our business as a minimum, and also other requirements such as operating to pollution prevention guidelines, Best Available Technology guidance, and safe operating practice. We will prevent pollution and ill health, and minimise accidents and incidents, whilst continually improving our performance over quality, health and safety, and environmental issues. On at least an annual basis our Senior Management will review our performance and systems, and use the results of this review to set objectives and targets for improvement of our performance within the scope of our management system.

Our Policy is available to any party on request, with all encouraged to participate in continual improvement of our Management System.
