20. WASTE MANAGEMENT (SEE EMS)

HB recognizes the importance of a safe Waste Management system. HB will arrange for the disposal of all
waste products regularly, safely, and in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with statutory
authorities. Disposal of waste involves the collection / storage / movement and disposal of the waste product.
HB will manage the collection and safe storage of waste on site and will utilise the servicers of approved/
licensed contractors to move and dispose of waste to a licensed facility. As the waste generator, HB will
request and store documentation (dockets) relating to the transportation and disposal of waste created at
its work sites.
HB will arrange for the disposal of all waste products regularly, safely, and in an environmentally sound
manner in accordance with statutory authorities. A waste minimization program has been initialized, and
strategies that can be used as part of the site waste management program include:

            Undertaking a review of waste generated at the contract.
            Ordering smaller quantities of products as they are required.
            Using double-sided photocopying.
            Developing a recycling program which redirects waste such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastics
             and aluminium cans.
            Composting food, garden and other organic refuse.
            Re-inking toner cartridges for printers and fax machines.
            Using non-hazardous or less hazardous chemicals where possible.
            Seeking out company’s which may be able to use the by-products and wastes.

      20.1 Housekeeping (SWMS:006) / Rubbish Removal
Wherever practicable, recyclable wastes are to be identified and segregated for recycling in preference to
ordinary waste disposal. Where a process generates large quantities of specific waste, efforts will be made
to find ways to minimize the generation of such wastes. Generation of hazardous wastes in particular is to
be minimised. Appropriate containers will be used for the segregation and collection of recyclable wastes. If
due to space restrictions, segregation is unavailable waste will be collected by a reputable waste contractor
and sorted off site. A report detailing separation of recycled waste quantities will be forwarded to the
contract administrator on a monthly basis or as requested.

      20.2 Spills and Leakages
Any accidents or incidents involving hazardous wastes must be reported to the Project/ Site Supervisor and
the Safety Manager. Any material spilled or leaked, whether on to paved surface or bare soil, must be cleaned
up immediately. The relevant SDS will be consulted for information on appropriate clean up and waste
disposal procedures. Once the initial spill has been cleaned up an assessment to any remediation shall take
place and an action plan developed. An Incident Report (HB-HSEQ-F-27-B) is to be filled out for all spill
incidents as per the environmental management plan.
