Outcome 8: Be able to support sustainability and minimise waste in an organisation
8.2 Use technology in work task(s) in ways that minimise waste
In a business environment i can reduce waste by using technology in a number of ways. Some examples of this are:
Regularly checking printers and fax machines for any faults ensuring they are in good working order to maintain a good standard of printing.
When needing to convey information to a colleague, using a telephone instead of using paper and pen/ printing the information, can save resources.
Using a online mail system (outlook,gmail,hotmail) to relay information and data to staff
Also when ordering office supplies online only ordering what products are needed and will be used will reduce waste.
8.3 Follow procedures for recycling and disposal of hazardous materials, as required
Periodically we have a company that comes in to collect confidential waste bags and we also have another company who collect any cardboard waste materials that are in need of recycling. Any hazardous materials are put in a safe place away from customers and staff and disposed off by the help of external services that are experts in hazardous material disposal.
8.4 Follow procedures for the maintenance of equipment in own work
Maintaining correct use of any equipment at work can lengthens the equipments life span, storing the equipment correctly is also important as this can prevent any future faults. Maintaining the machines also helps use less resources in general, and less company expenditure on replacing equipment parts or replacing the machine all together.
