Sustainability and Waste Management
T3 2014
?
We all produce garbage as a part of everyday living but we do n
ot
normally think too much about it. We just put our bins on the n
ature
strip every week and the council arranges for someone to pick u
p the
garbage and take it away.
?
However, we all have to start thinking about the things we thro
w
away because garbage disposal has become a major economic and
environmental problem for us all in the 21
st
century.
Revlon Case
?
In December 2009 three (3) Workers were critically
injured after an explosion at a medical waste disposal
facility in the ACT.
?
This case was this week settled in the ACT Supreme
Court for $6.6 million.
Revlon Case
The following is a summary of the main, key issues
and learnings from this case.
?
The Waste Generator failed to inform the Waste
Transporter that the cosmetic waste in the bins
collected on the day of the incident included
pressurised aerosol cans.
?
The Waste Generator did not have a sorting system
to segregate cosmetic waste in order to prevent
pressurised cans entering the disposal stream;
?
The Waste Generator knew, or ought to have
known, the risks involved in the disposal of
the products;
?
The Waste Generator did not provide
instruction or training to its employees on the
risks of disposal of certain products; and
?
It was also argued that the Waste Transporter
(who was also the Waste Processor) failed to
take practical steps to ensure that
pressurised aerosol cans were not shredded.
