NetRegs Update issue 12 (February 2008)

NetRegs is your free, confidential guide on how to comply with environmental regulations. All businesses are subject to environmental legislation and it is important that you comply with the law to avoid being prosecuted and fined.

Our regular e-alerts keep you informed about the important regulations that affect your business and the practical steps you need to take to comply. They also update you on changes to the NetRegs website.

• Is your business WEEE compliant?
  It is a year since the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations came into force. Take a look at our guidance to find out what you should be doing with your WEEE and whether you are complying with the law. You could save time and money.

• Does your business operate motor vehicles?
  See our new guidance to find out if your motor vehicles comply with emissions limits. You can improve efficiency and reduce your emissions by having a travel plan for your business.

• Can you identify invasive weeds?
  See our updated guidance to help you identify Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed and Himalayan balsam. NetRegs can also tell you how to deal with these invasive weeds.

• Is your business based in Northern Ireland?
  With the recent publication of responses to a consultation, Northern Ireland takes one step closer to introducing laws on contaminated land. The regulations will affect any person or business that causes or allows land to become contaminated, or that owns contaminated land. A timetable for the laws will be launched soon.

We have recently published new guidance for these business areas:

• Education
  
• Landscaping
  
• Vehicle repair and maintenance
