Mapping Health and Safety Standards in the UK Waste Industry (Paperback)

This report describes a study on the nature of the UK waste industry and its health and safety standards. It is estimated that around 160,000 workers are employed in the waste industry. The industry is driven by legislation and regulation, much originating from European Directives. Recent research estimates that if the 30% national recycling target is to be met in 2010, then around 45,000 extra jobs could potentially be created.
