Environmental, Health and Safety Policy
Yesterday’s Business Computers prides itself on leading the industry in repair, refurbishment, data destruction and resale of electronic equipment. YBC’s policy outlines the commitment we have to the Responsible Recycling of e-waste and focus materials including controlling the Environmental Health and Safety impacts and hazards associated with our business operations. Yesterday’s Business Computers is committed to:
Comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements defined by Federal, State and local laws, as well as other applicable requirements and guidelines
Establish a framework of objectives and targets to continually monitor, review and improve our Environmental, Health and Safety Management System
Employ sustainable practices to prevent pollution
Ensure that information, instruction and training is provided to all personnel to ensure those involved are aware of this policy and can fulfill their responsibilities safely
Establish performance standards and implement risk assessments, inspections and monitoring programs to eliminate or reduce risk and hazards based on the “Hierarchy of Controls” model
Manage all waste streams following the “reuse, recover and dispose” hierarchy on-site and in the selection and management of downstream vendors throughout the recycling chain
Ensuring downstream vendors are removing all Focus Materials, toner and toner cartridges prior to shredding, materials recovery, energy recovery, incineration or land disposal
