March 31, 2007 - When you procure new equipment, what happens to the old equipment? With an emphasis on meeting your individual needs, SafetywearOnline (A Quantum Safety Company) has returned the word "customer" to customer service. Simply drop – off your old equipment or arrange for a pick – up. Old equipment need not lay around for the following reasons;
- Old equipment consumes valuable space
- the longer it sits, the more non – biodegradable it becomes
- the environmental liability can lead to fines, penalties and legal action
- proper disposal and recycling your old equipment has tax benefits
- Recent legislation includes additional incentives for “green initiatives”
Alani Kuye, V.P of the connecticut based workplace safety solutions provider, in an interview said "Our trained technical customer service professionals are available to provide you with a number of disposal and recycling options for the wide variety of industrial waste you generate. Though you may simply “drop – off” old equipment being replaced, we have the capability to manage your waste through on-site pick-up and off site disposal. We can also assist with direct shipment of large quantity streams to end disposal sites. Our core mission is to offer the most cost-effective alternatives available, while minimizing environmental liability issues."
With OSHA and a compliance driven business environment on both small and mid to large businesses alike, workplace safety has gone beyond simply protecting workers. Most companies procure newer equipment but have no concrete processes in place for the proper disposal of their old, used equipment. THis leads to degradation of which the longer the equipment sits unattended to, to more non - biodegradable it becomes.
"We see prizms established by OSHA based on industry statistics and reported occurences" continued Alani. "Everyday a material sits or is sued, there are chemical reactions that occur. Whenever materials come in contact, oxygen, carbon monoxide, water, sweat, heat,.....though miniscule, they change the composition of the equipment. Which in turn becomes hazzardous material in it's own form. our Green Initiative focuses on going beyond replacing these old units but also absorbing and properly disposing the units. Recycling also plays an important role here."
