What You Must Check Before Hiring
Many factories try to reduce costs by choosing lower-priced waste disposal contractors. However, this decision can lead to serious legal risks that are often overlooked.
There was a real case where a factory hired a low-cost waste disposal company. Just six months later, the factory was summoned by the Department of Industrial Works after it was discovered that the industrial waste had been disposed of improperly.
Even though the factory did not directly commit the violation, under the law, it was still held jointly responsible for the improper waste management.
Risks You Should Not Ignore
Industrial waste disposed of in unauthorized locations
Retrospective investigations by authorities
Legal consequences and reputational damage
Hiring a contractor does not eliminate your responsibility.
4 Key Checks Before Hiring a Waste Disposal Contractor
To minimize risk, factories should verify at least the following:
Valid licenses (e.g., 101 / 105 / 106)
Transport vehicles certified with Wor.8 and equipped with GPS
Verifiable records on the Department of Industrial Works portal
ISO 14001 certification (Environmental Management System)
