Stamp out your fire risk, says EPA’s Fire Prevention team
Fire prevention teams from Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) have inspected over 200 waste and resource recovery sites across Victoria so far this year, as part of a targeted prevention campaign.
Many of the sites have not had regular contact with EPA in the past, and EPA’s teams found 80% of operators were not fully complying with environmental regulations in some way.
EPA officers have given informal advice for minor non-compliances and issued legally enforceable orders for the more serious hazards, to ensure each business is addressing any issues on its site.
