Waste Management Compliance Auditing

Service summary

A review of waste controls from generation and segregation to transfer and final disposition evidence. The audit examines responsibilities, storage practices and contractor oversight against agreed requirements.

Findings help management evaluate accountability and the reliability of waste handling records. The assessment does not grant disposal authorisation or independently prove final treatment where sufficient downstream evidence is unavailable.

Key objectives

• Assess waste identification and segregation
• Examine storage and transfer controls
• Evaluate contractor documentation
• Identify traceability and accountability gaps

Methodology

Selected waste streams are traced through site handling, transfer records and available destination evidence, with clear disclosure of downstream limitations.

• Define waste streams, sites, obligations and audit boundaries.
• Review classifications, handling procedures and contractor authorisations.
• Select waste movements and storage areas based on risk.
• Observe segregation, labelling, containment and storage practices.
• Trace transfer records, quantities and available treatment evidence.
• Evaluate exceptions, contractor monitoring and corrective actions.
• Report compliance-control findings and unverified downstream stages.
