BAT 5

In order to reduce the environmental risk associated with the handling and transfer of waste, BAT is to set up and implement handling and transfer procedures.

For each parameter below, confirm the measurements in place for your particular activity, the equipment used and where these measurements are undertaken. 

 

i. Handling and transfer procedures aim to ensure that wastes are safely handled and transferred to the respective storage or treatment. They include the following elements.

- handling and transfer of waste are carried out by competent staff;
- handling and transfer of waste are duly documented, validated prior to execution and verified after execution;
- measures are taken to prevent, detect and mitigate spills;
- operation and design precautions are taken when mixing or blending wastes (e.g. vacuuming dusty/powdery wastes).
Handling and transfer procedures are risk-based considering the likelihood of accidents and incidents and their environmental impact.
