Posted By Robert K Lewis The formal response from IOSH is now on the homepage link. I have to say that i am a little disappointed at the extreme brevity and negativity of much of the responses. Having said that there are many areas where I broadly agree. I think for me the problem is that the Gov have seen no real change with the voluntary approach and there is a strong anti-fly tipping agenda. These regulations probably will not assist in themselves but they may well make contractors even on small works think harder about their waste stream. Bob

Posted By Robert K Lewis My thoughts exactly - Is there a touch of the ostrich around here? 10+ years ago I was developing these for projects and know that many of the savings claims are almost impossible to verify. I have seen statements such "zero waste achieved" on a project. LAs having zero waste requirements in planning conditions. 60% saving on waste costs. Perhaps the issue is that the SWMP post project review might bring some birds home to roost? Bob
