Environmental Manual

When possible we donate our unused and surplus paint to the local Schools. This has a double benefit as the safest policy is to use up the paint and also helps the local community.

We supply most projects with on-site water treatment systems for washing brushes etc, such as the Enviro-wash System. Should on-site system be un-available we have our off-site system permanently at our headquarters.

All our painters are up to date on the EPA guidelines with on-site and off-site treatment areas on all sites. All painters are regularly checked to make sure they follow these guidelines stringently.

For Lead paint hazards we have one of our lead certified staff assess the hazard and manage the recommendations in the safest possible way, regular checks will be made to make sure his recommendations are strictly carried through.

All hazardous waste is disposed of following the council's guidelines and all staff blood levels are tested regularly.

We are members of the Green building Council of Australia and the Green Pages. We attend courses & seminars frequently to update ourselves on up-coming initiatives.
