L322 Range Rover Service Procedures
GENERAL INFORMATION
03-5
Checklist
Always adhere to the following.
l
Identify where the neighbours who are likely to
be affected are situated;
l
Minimise noise, smells and traffic nuisance;
l
Prevent litter by putting waste in the correct
containers;
l
Have waste skips emptied regularly.
Use of resource
Another environmental concern is the waste of
materials and energy that can occur in day to day
activities.
Electricity for heating, lighting and compressed air
uses resources and releases pollution during its
generation.
Fuel used for heating, running cars or vans and
mobile plant is another limited resource which
consumes large amounts of energy during its
extraction and refining processes.
Water has to be cleaned, piped to site and disposed
of; all of which creates more potential pollution.
Oil, spares, paint etc., have all produced pollution in
the process of manufacture and they become a
waste disposal problem if discarded.
Checklist
Always adhere to the following.
Electricity and heating:
l
Keep doors and windows closed in the winter;
l
Switch off machinery or lights when not needed;
l
Use energy efficient heating systems;
l
Switch off computers and photocopiers when
not needed.
Fuel:
l
Don't run engines unnecessarily;
l
Think about whether journeys are necessary
and drive to conserve fuel.
Water:
l
Don't leave taps and hose pipes running;
l
Mend leaks quickly, don't be wasteful.
Compressed air:
l
Don't leave valves open;
l
Mend leaks quickly;
l
Don't leave the compressor running when not
needed.
Use of environmentally damaging materials:
l
Check whether a less toxic material is available.
Handling and storage of materials:
l
Have the correct facilities available for handling
liquids to prevent spillage and wastage as listed
above;
l
Provide suitable locations for storage to prevent
frost damage or other deterioration.
Waste Management
One of the major ways that pollution can be reduced
is by the careful handling, storage and disposal of all
waste materials that occur on sites. Legislation
makes it illegal to dispose of waste materials other
than to licensed waste carriers and disposal sites.
This means that it is necessary to not only know what
the waste materials are, but also to have the
necessary documentation and licenses.
Handling and storage of waste
Ensure that waste materials are not poured down the
drain or onto soils. They should be stored in such a
way as to prevent the escape of the material to land,
water or air.
They must also be segregated into different types of
waste e.g. oil, metals, batteries, used vehicle
components. This will prevent any reaction between
different materials and assist in disposal.
Disposal of waste
Disposal of waste materials must only be to waste
carriers who are licensed to carry those particular
waste materials and all the necessary
documentation must be completed. The waste
carrier is responsible for ensuring that the waste is
taken to the correct disposal sites.
