Oil Disposal
If COSHH (Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health) like oil waste aren’t given the attention they require, it could have significant consequences.
Oil Waste Disposal
While a drain or sink may seem like the obvious and easy destination for Oil disposal, it’s likely to have longer term consequences once the Oil solidifies and amalgamates with other waste materials.
The likely outcome will be blockages to pipes and the entire local sewage system, or worse still, river, groundwater or land contamination.
Waste oils, except edible oil, are classed as hazardous waste and should be disposed of accordingly to prevent Environmental risk, especially in the case of industrial oil disposal which presents explosive dangers.
