No. We will work with you and your team to ensure you are taking all the appropriate steps to manage your environmental responsibilities within the law, minimising risks to your organisation. Ultimately however, in law, the responsibility of ensuring your organisation complies with legislation surrounding environmental issues is that of the employer.

If you have any existing environmental impact and procedures paperwork, please bring them to the initial meeting, otherwise no.

Let us know as soon as possible – certain types of accidents must be notified to the Environment Agency, and we can help you with this.

You are required by law to ensure that all serious incidents are properly investigated and it may be that a visit from one of our consultants needs to be arranged very quickly.

If you are contacted by the Environment Agency or a local council regarding environmental issues of any kind, you should contact us immediately so we can discuss and agree what steps to take.

However, if you are a retained client who has implemented our advice on environmental practices, it is unlikely the either the Environment Agency or any local council body will be dissatisfied with your organisation.

One of our environmental consultants, along with a representative of your organisation, will undertake the following:

• An inspection of the physical premises and an assessment of environmental impact both for the premises and the work being carried out in it
• A check of how prepared you are in case of emergency.
• A check on mandatory and recommended environmental training requirements.
• A discussion on the management structure and responsibilities for environmental issues
• A close-out meeting with senior management of your organisation.
• A full written report
