3 Tips for Choosing a Hauling Company for Your Dangerous Industrial Goods and Waste

 

With more and more hauling companies cropping up, you might be feeling overwhelmed with choice. However, not all hauling companies are created equal.

Some will have more experience and expertise within your industry. Others will place a higher priority on customer service, offer lower prices, or have an outstanding reputation.

When it comes to choosing a hauling company for your dangerous industrial goods, it’s worth doing your research to find the right fit.

Fortunately, choosing a hauling company for your waste, dirty dirt, or other dangerous industrial goods is as simple as 1, 2, 3.

Choose Safety-Conscious Haulers

Living and working in Northern BC often comes with intense road conditions and limited daylight hours. This means there’s plenty of potential for things to go wrong when hauling dangerous goods.

This is true for commercial businesses on the oil patch who need hazardous chemicals removed. And for those of you who need your septic tanks emptied.

It is crucial that you choose a safety-conscious hauler if you want to ensure your dangerous industrial goods are removed and disposed of safely and appropriately.

At Northern Vac Services, we are compliant with COR, ISNetworld, Complyworks Avetta (formerly PICS Auditing), WorkSafeBC, H2S and First Aid. Read more about our commitment to safety in our blog post “Safety First at Northern Vac Services”.

Choose Qualified Haulers

The haulers you choose should be suitably qualified to transport dangerous goods within B.C. We have staff who have Hazard Waste Transport Licences. This means they’ve satisfied all the application requirements and passed the knowledge test.

According to the Provincial Government of British Columbia:

The test is designed to evaluate an applicant’s knowledge of the legal requirements under the Environmental Management Act, the Hazardous Waste Regulation, the Spill Reporting Regulation, and if applicable, any other specific transportation aspect of certain waste.

Qualified hauling companies have all the industry knowledge and experience it takes to safely and appropriately remove, haul and dispose of dangerous goods.

Choose Haulers with the Right Equipment

The right equipment makes all the difference when it comes to safe and efficient hauling. You want to choose a company with the right tools to get the job done for you.
