LEGISLATIONHappy of Harpenden Sandra, we were all delighted at the
service you and your husband provided. We felt immediately that
we could trust your company to do a thorough job and we had no hesitation
at releasing the keys to you without meeting you. Needless to say
your "can do" attitude concerning the key collection was most impressive.
The estate agent reports that the house is now in an excellent condition
for viewing (although of course they always say this!) The words “legislation” and “regulations” seem to occur quite a few times in our website. But this is because the areas which we work within are quite rightly well governed to protect different parts of society; WASTE CARRIERS LICENSING & REGISTRATIONThe government require anyone handling waste to be licensed. In this license we must disclose the type of waste which we handle and carry. Without this license, and relevant documentation, waste management centres are unable to accept waste. The purpose of this is to ensure that waste is categorised and appropriately disposed of. If the waste comes from your own home, the duty of care law does apply to you as well. If you give waste to someone you must make sure that they are a registered waste carrier and therefore authorised to remove it and dispose of it in a responsible manner. If you require more information regarding this then please see the DEFRA website, or the SEPA website in Scotland, or www.wasteworks.org/legislation. FOAM FURNITURE REGULATIONSWe have seen the reports of horrific fires started by a cigarette falling down the back of a sofa. It is accidents such as these which the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations are in place to prevent. The full DTI guide can be seen here; www.dti.gov.uk/files/file24685.pdf. But in summary, an outline is as follows;
The important thing to remember is that these regulations cover charity shops as well, which is why many such shops are simply unable to take any items which do not have appropriate fixed permanent compliance labels. ELECTRICAL SAFETY REGULATIONSTo ensure that all electrical items sold are safe, then the regulations state that a certificate of compliance is needed for all second hand electrical items sold. This basically means and electrical test by an appropriately qualified electrician. The full regulations can be seen at; These regulations again extend to charity shops, and again explains why many charity shops are unable to take donations of electrical items.
