Non-conformities in the handling of problematic waste

Another HSE non-conformity has been registered at BIO due to inadequate closure of yellow waste boxes (problematic waste). Two boxes have been placed in the waste room in T55 with gloves and other waste visibly sticking out.

This is not acceptable, even the waste operator refused to take the waste for incineration.

We will be joined by an technician together with Caverion, they will contact users / technicians locally and agree a time for emptying cabinets before measurement. It is important that the cupboards are cleaned and emptied before the inspection.
