Your Responsibilities... To The Environment
Users of Halon are responsible for its safe disposal under waste management controls included in:
- Waste Management Licensing Regulations 1994
- The Environmental Protection Act 1990
The effect of these regulations is to require holders of waste to take all reasonable steps to keep the waste safe and ensure it is treated legally. Anyone concerned with controlled waste must ensure it is managed properly, recovered and disposed of safely. It must only be transferred to someone who is authorised to receive it.
Proof may be required, so it is essential that the decommissioning of a Halon system is accompanied by an audit trail which provides a standard certification procedure to confirm that the Halon has been disposed of in a properly authorised fashion. Chubb islicensed to perform this function and provides a standard system of certification.
