It is a fact of life that the state sector is increasingly moving towards being self-financing. This in turn means that the charges associated with releases are increasing at rates well in excess of inflation. In addition, the rules and regulations surrounding these charges are constantly changing. At Peak we keep up to date with any changes to the various charging systems so that our clients pay no more than they have to.

Consents, licenses and authorisations need to encompass the needs of your site. Any review or negotiation we conduct on your behalf starts with identifying the limits to ensure that compliance is assured.

Even with the most reliable processes things can go wrong.
Spillages are still the main cause of incidents that lead to prosecution by regulatory bodies.

When spillages and incidents cause releases to the environment, it is important that individuals in your staff are aware and understand their role in the incident. It is also vital that they know what equipment exists to deal with the problem and how to use it.

Peak can organise and conduct training days at your site to update key personnel on current legislation and their obligations, and can offer model incident procedures that are tailored to meet the specific needs of your site. Matters such as the nature of the materials, the proximity of local watercourses and the drainage routes from your site are just some of the factors that need to be considered.

It pays to be prepared and to know your staff have been trained in how to handle a crisis.
