An employer must as far as is reasonably practicable
- recycle all lead waste, but not into non-lead production processes;
- ensure that all collected lead waste is placed into containers that will prevent the likelihood of exposure during handling;
- ensure that all vehicles, re-usable containers and covers which have been in contact with lead waste are cleaned and decontaminated after use, in such a way that such vehicles, containers or covers do not cause a hazard inside or outside the premises concerned;
- ensure that all lead waste that can cause exposure to lead, is disposed of only on sites specifically designated for this purpose in terms of the law and in such a manner that it does not cause a hazard inside or outside the site concerned;
- ensure that all persons involved in the collection, transport and disposal of lead waste and who may be exposed to that waste, are provided with suitable personal protective equipment; and
- ensure that, in cases where the services of a waste disposal contractor are used, a provision is incorporated into the contract stating that the contractor too shall comply with the provisions of these Regulations.
