Health

The healthcare sector includes a range of different activities that use a number of potentially hazardous materials. Waste from the healthcare sector can include chemical wastes, medicines, infectious material and radioactive elements, as well as more usual commercial waste.

Healthcare facilities are required to comply with a number of environmental regulations to protect the environment and human health.

SEPA offers a range of environmental advice and information to guarantee your business is compliant with regulation and environmental legislation, and to ensure significant improvements are made to the environment.
