Environmental Policy Statement
By the very nature of our work within the environmental site
investigation business, Geotron UK understands and acknowledges its
responsibility to the local and regional environment during the
execution of intrusive investigations and in all other aspects of our
work.
We aim to carry out all our services in a manner which minimises
impacts on the above ground, sub-surface soil, groundwater, surface
water and ecological environments. All our employees are trained to
recognise potential impacts and apply the relevant control measures to
ensure protection of sensitive receptors.
Environmental Policies
1. Geotron UK will endeavour to prevent any release of harmful
substances into the atmosphere, the subsurface environment or surface
water-courses.
2. Geotron UK accepts and will continue to comply with the
Environmental Protection Act 1990 and any subsequent legislation or
codes of practice which apply to any aspect of our work. We will
implement and plan for future legislative requirements.
3. Geotron UK will develop the awareness of their employees relating to
environmental issues through training programmes and induction courses.
4. Geotron UK has a programme of continuous monitoring and review of
environmental performance with immediate implementation of improvements
where these can be identified.
5. Geotron UK will work closely with our partners in the Environmental
Consultancy Industry to obtain as much information as possible
regarding the physical subsurface environment (geology and
hydrogeology) and the potential chemical contaminants (nature and
potential source areas) prior to commencing an intrusive investigation
at a site. Geotron UK will use their understanding of such issues and
their continuous observation and monitoring of the subsurface
environment during the progress of their work to minimise the
environmental impacts of the investigation.
6. Geotron UK will always dispose of waste materials for investigations
in the appropriate manner. Waste soils and groundwater will be disposed
of at a disposal facility licensed to accept the type of waste in
question. Transport to that facility will be by a registered carrier of
waste.
The above policies will be adhered to by all Geotron UK employees. Our
employees will also assume the responsibility for continuous monitoring
of our procedures and are required to suggest improvement where they
can be practicably implemented.
