The Duty of Care is designed to be self-regulating with all of the parties undertaking the required checks and keeping the required documentation.
The Environment Agency, Scottish Environment Protection Agency or Environment Agency Northern Ireland do not have a specific duty to enforce the Duty of Care
but they have a major interest in ensuring
that it is fully complied with as any breaches may constitute illegal
waste management and may lead to environmental pollution or harm.
They are equipped with the powers to prevent or pursue offenders.
