We help businesses meet the requirements of the Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) (England) Regulations 2010, commonly known as the SSAFO Regulations that apply in England.
Farm and Agricultural Slurry Waste Removal and Disposal
At Environmental Waste Management we know first-hand that farming often produces more slurry than they have storage containers for. This presents a problem because by law you must have enough storage to contain a minimum of 4 months slurry, and cold wet weather can often leave you unable to spread slurry safely. Slurry stores and tanks can be expensive to purchase and install, meaning they are not always the most cost-effective option for farmers and land managers. Our reliable slurry waste removal specialists are on hand 24/7 to handle and properly dispose of slurry safely and responsibly at a time most suitable to your farming operations.
Cement Slurry Waste Removal and Disposal
The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations state that construction companies must protect against the risks from cement-based products, like concrete or mortar, which can cause serious skin problems such as dermatitis and burns. One of the risks presented on a construction site is the safe removal of concrete slurry. Operatives at Environmental Waste Management are well-versed on cement regulations and have many years of experience in the safe and effective removal and disposal of concrete slurry.

Slurry presents two particular safety and health problems - drowning and gas poisoning. Drowning is by far the most common cause of death involving slurry. Children and the elderly are at particular risk.
-
Disposal is carried out at a suitable authorised facility. The material is in suspension, and a tanker barrel washout is performed to remove the chance of future contamination.
-

-
A vacuum truck works similarly to a shop vac. A powerful pump removes air from the holding tank, which creates a vacuum inside. Opening the primary and secondary shutoff valves on suction hoses forces the tank to try to equalize the pressure inside, letting the truck vacuum up solids, liquids and sludges
-
Bentonite itself is probably not more toxic than any other particulate not otherwise regulated and is not classified as a carcinogen by any regulatory or advisory body, but some bentonite may contain variable amounts of respirable crystalline silica, a recognized human carcinogen.
-
Bentonite, a clay with numerous industrial and consumer applications, is mined and processed in many countries of the world. Its many beneficial uses also create the potential for widespread occupational and consumer exposure. The available studies on toxicity and epidemiology indicate that the principal exposure pathway of concern is inhalation of respirable dust by occupationally exposed cohorts. Bentonite itself is probably not more toxic than any other particulate not otherwise regulated and is not classified as a carcinogen by any regulatory or advisory body, but some bentonite may contain variable amounts of respirable crystalline silica, a recognized human carcinogen. Therefore, prudent management and adherence to occupational exposure limits is appropriate. This review summarizes the literature available on production, applications, exposure, toxicity, and epidemiology of bentonite and identifies data gaps and limitations.
