As part of its regulatory commitments and waste duty of care requirements, they needed to undertake a thorough audit and review of the management system and operational facilities of a large UK based decommissioning yard.
Approach

Solution
Given the scale of the site, the Telos auditors were on site for four days undertaking the various scopes which included a detailed review of the management system, associated compliance obligations as well as an assortment of waste duty of care documentation from the various contractors. A thorough review of the site was undertaken from the intake of wastes, right through to dismantling and onward disposal of the various waste streams.
