Environmental safety generally includes hazardous waste management practices, general safety, environmental regulatory affairs, and occupational health. Primary emphasis is to prevent accidents and minimize human exposure to hazardous materials and conditions; prevent degradation of the environment; and promote responsible waste management. As we are all responsible for waste we must all make efforts to minimize our contribution by reducing, reusing and recycling. This may mean changing our behaviour and our attitudes. The mission is to restore, protect and enhance the environment, to ensure public health, environmental quality and economic vitality and to tackle this problem in a way that meets the needs of the present without affecting future generations.
