Why hazardous materials management is necessary
With the complexity of modern business operations, safety is paramount, especially when dealing with hazardous materials.
To ensure a safe working environment, you must carefully identify risks, take appropriate measures, and comply with legal requirements.
With this module from VARIO, you can perfectly manage and control all hazardous substances and related safety measures.
KBS Certification (OVAM)
Collectors, waste dealers or brokers of hazardous waste must have and operate according to an up-to-date, approved quality assurance system (KBS). After all, an insufficient KBS may result in your registration being suspended. In addition to certain guidelines and a list of responsibilities, the KBS must also contain many specific working methods.
Don’t worry, we can assist you quickly by adding and writing out the necessary working methods.
