About this course
Waste management is the process of handling all the stuff we throw away – everything from food scraps and packaging, to that crumpled-up piece of paper in the office bin, and even leftover hazardous chemicals used in manufacturing. The waste management journey begins the moment waste is created. From there, it needs to be collected, transported, treated, and finally recycled, or disposed of.
Waste management is not just about getting rid of waste, it’s about keeping the planet safe for all life, now and in the future. It’s also an opportunity to make smart, sustainable choices to reduce the amount of waste that’s created in the first place.
By having a solid understanding of the waste created by your organisation and your legal responsibilities, you can implement a thorough waste action plan to manage your waste efficiently and responsibly.
This course is for whoever is responsible for managing waste at work. Whether you want to improve your existing processes or implement new ones, this course explores the different types of waste, how to plan and conduct a waste audit, and how to create a waste action plan that sets you up for success. It provides general, best-practice guidance, but your organisation might have different requirements or alternative ways of doing things.
The course is concise and informative, providing users with a downloadable certificate upon completion of the end-of-training test.

Quick and easy to follow

Repetitive of environment training
Quite a long course that wasn't particularly interesting. Possibly as the course is aimed at people who are involved in creating Waste Management Plans, rather than general employees
Course good for office based staff
This user gave this course a rating of 4/5 stars
We all believe we know what we are doing correctly.
Being new to this program and not knowing what to expect, it opens your eyes of what is expected in our environment, and our work space.
too long

Useful addition to available training
This was a fairly well developed and enjoyable module It is relatively quick, has useful videos and very well presented I would have personally liked to see some information about circular economy and how that can be used in terms of reuse and to reduce waste. But the examples given for reduction are helpful. My only real concern would be in relation to the audits, and that some centres may feel that they need to start manually sorting, separating and weighing their wate as part of the initial audit process.
Good!

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Aside from the environmental benefits, proper waste management is an employer’s legal responsibility too. Under the Environmental Protection Act, you have a “Duty of Care” to take all reasonable steps to make sure that waste is handled safely and responsibly.
