Good Afternoon All,

I would appreciate some feedback and/or suggestions to a query from one of my maintenance managers.

We will be looking at having pumps (approx. 1-2 a year) coming back to our site for servicing. They will have had effluent pumped through them. My maintenance manager states that they will be cleaned through at site from where they are located before they would be brought back. So my question is, where do I stand on a waste carrier licence? My concern is that although it would have been cleaned at the site there will be residual traces of effluent/bacteria etc in the hard to reach areas and so therefore are we still effectively carrying waste?

Thank you.

Vicki

Thank you Dave, much appreciated, I will go scopy out the EA.

Whilst transporting items/equipment that has traces of "hazardous" materials on them, I very much doubt that is in the jurisdiction of Waste regulations. If at all appropriate, one may want to to consider the application of Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regs
