Waste Disposal Deliver Training Right on Target
Lara-based Sweeney Todd Waste Disposal has built a strong relationship with the Gordon Institute of TAFE to deliver targeted training for its staff.
By combining formal VET training with extensive on-the-job-training the business has established itself as an environmentally-friendly market leader in the specialised field of medical waste management. Through dedicated training, workers are aware of the safety aspect of the business as well as company procedures regarding medical waste management. Job rotation assists in staff becoming multi-skilled across the business and increases their knowledge of the industry.
The company also provides training sessions on appropriate disposal procedures and conducts clinical waste audits for external waste producers. This assists in improved safety and appropriate waste segregation across their client base.
Hugh Parsons, Senior Management Consultant for Sweeney Todd Waste Disposal, understands the value of training for business and for the individual.
'Education costs ... lack of education costs more!' he said.
'The careers of two of our drivers have changed dramatically with them being promoted through to management. This could only have been achieved through our education program'.
