Environmental impact assessment
Electrical and Mechanical Building Services Engineering
We provide
your business with a generic impact assessment that our trade may have on
your property.
-
Obviously being a part of the construction industry
we will have the normal packaging refuse. This will largely be in the
form of cardboard or paper both of which we would encourage the practice
of recycling. Disposal of these products on commercial sites is the
responsibility of the main contractors.
-
Other materials such as fluorescent lamps where to be
disposed of would be undertaken by a licensed agent, such as MED
Electrical from Ballymena. Due to the higher risks from mercury and such
within these lamps, they fall into the specialized waste category.
-
Mechanical and electrical contracts make waste of
iron, copper and lead. All of these are recycled through our own
management team for recycling using the licensed scrap metal merchants
“Hamill’s” in Ballymena.
-
Waste oil recovery is recycled through our waste oil
burning heating plant or distributed to a licensed recovery agent for
recycling.
-
Our office staff are well versed in conservation
making optimum use of paper products by recycling and printing on
reverse sides of paper we have made significant savings on paper and
stationery costs each year.
-
Switching to green electricity for our power demands
in our stores and offices makes better use of N.Ireland’s resources.
High efficiency gas
fired heating and water heating plant used in our offices makes better
sense fro greenhouse emission savings.

enforced by District Councils from 30th April 2007.
Exposure to second hand smoke, also known
as passive smoking, increases the risk of lung cancer, heart disease and
other illnesses. Ventilation or separating smokers and non-smokers within

a right to work in a smoke-free environment. The policy shall come into
effect on 30th April 2007 and be reviewed on 30th

implementation and review rests with Mr Brian Hood, Managing Director. All
staff are obliged to adhere to, and facilitate the implementation of the
policy.
The person named above shall inform all
existing employees, consultants and contractors of the policy and their
role in the implementation and monitoring of the policy. They’ll also have
to give all new personnel a copy of the policy on recruitment/induction.
There shall be appropriate ‘NO SMOKING’
signs displayed at the entrances to and within premises and all company
vehicles.
