This hazardous waste management template is free to use, editable for your company and projects and makes completing and sharing thorough waste management plans easier and more organised.

Hazardous waste management plans are some of the lengthier and more detailed 'forms' used in the industries, but they are incredibly important for the general functioning of a project and project logistics. Poorly managed hazardous waste poses a constant danger to people, equipment and assets, and late or last-minute waste collection can also end up costing your company additional money in fines and lost time due to inaccessibility and other waste-driven obstacles.

The hazardous waste management plan outlines all of the waste management elements of a project, which includes:

• The procedures used to collect and dispose of hazardous waste
• The measures which will be taken to minimise waste generation associated with that specific project
• A list or table of the waste categories (What types of waste will be generated during the project)
• Waste monitoring procedures

The purpose of the hazardous waste management plan is to put a plan in place so that waste is minimised, and disposed of and collected properly.

Without a waste management plan, waste and hazardous materials are disposed of incorrectly, sites get incredibly messy and more dangerous, and waste management begins to impact the success and tracking of the actual project.

Create a solid hazardous waste management plan, monitor waste and adapt accordingly, and you will be on your way to creating better environmental outcomes for your projects, company - and the environment. A good waste management plan will operate seamlessly in the background - and help your projects run like a well oiled machine.
