Sharps Disposal
"Sharps" is a clinical term that generally refers to needles used in medical procedures such as suturing, injecting, etc. Other terms that people use include syringe or hypodermic needle disposal.
Whichever term is used, proper storage and disposal of potentially dangerous sharp objects is not only desirable, it is essential and also a legal obligation. Sharps bins are almost always yellow in colour and self-contained to avoid contamination. We offer a specialist sharps disposal service for organisations and individuals across the UK.
Passenger, Taxi or Commercial Vehicle Decontamination
There are multiple occasions when vehicles need to not only get cleaned but need to be professionally de-contaminated. Even in general use, nose bleeds and instances where people vomit need to be dealt with properly. Vehicles are notoriously difficult to clean and disinfect due in no small part to the multitude of small spaces and crevices into which fluids and contaminants can seep. In more serious circumstances, for example where road traffic accidents occur, blood, urine, faeces and other fluids can get released into the vehicle and need to be professionally and thoroughly cleaned.
We have trained our amazing team in vehicle cleaning and decontamination. Whatever your requirement, please email our dedicated team at: [email protected] or call 0333 7720638 for a free, no-obligation estimate and quote.

How Do We Work?
Before we carry out any work
- We carry out a comprehensive risk assessment to effectively evaluate risks to people, property and the environment.
- After carrying out a risk assessment, we create a method statement. A method statement details exactly how we are going to carry out a task and details the steps that need to be taken to safely carry out the work. This could involve detailing the type of equipment we might be using, the PPE (personal protective equipment) that might be needed and the processes involved in actually carrying out the work.
- COSHH Risk Assessment. COSHH is short for control of substances hazardous to health. The COSHH risk assessment that we carry out is done to identify the risks involved with the materials that we are dealing with and also to understand the risks involved with using the chemicals that we decide to use.
- Creation of a Waste Transfer Note. A waste transfer note (WTN) is a document that details the transfer of waste from one person to another. We make certain that every load of waste that we receive on your behalf or that we pass to others is covered by a WTN. WTNs make certain that there is a clear audit trail from when the waste is produced until it is disposed of.
- PPE and RPE Training or Toolbox Talks. We make certain that all of our team know what and how to use their PPE (personal protective/protection equipment). This is done through Toolbox talks. Put simply, someone experienced and also qualified if necessary in the effective use of PPE demonstrates and explains exactly how to put on, wear and work in items of PPE. RPE (Respiratory Protection Equipment) such as breathing apparatus often needs specialist training or instruction in safe and effective useage and we also make certain that our team are fully equipped, trained and competent in the use of RPE at all times.
