IE TRANSPORT Tribunal has come under flak from the Road ulage Associciation over its ruling earlier this year that the remoI of waste by waste disposal operators can be carried out on a Aricted operator's licence.
It has called on the Departant of Transport to change this jislation. The ruling in Febary (CM February 191 allowed essex Waste Disposal of Itshire to operate its business a restricted licence.
rho RHA has since said that iste disposal contractors ould have a standard 0ance, as the carriage of waste der a restricted licence is ainst public safety and the St interests of the road ulage industry in general.
he RHA said that waste could lude dangerous substances I so any disposal contractor )uld satisfy the requirements a standard 0-licence in rest of professional compe t pointed out that waste, inding reclaimable material, is ill-defined term which could ;ily be extended to include ler materials carried by road
J rage operators.
'aided to that there was the isibility of "fringe" operators having easy access to the haulage industry by means of a restricted 0-licence.
Such operators may not be prepared to meet the full legal requirements, it said. This would hinder attempts to maintain or raise operating standards.
