Why recycle?

Waste has a negative impact on the environment; therefore recycling is the best way to have a positive impact on the world. Here are a few reasons why:

Environmental purposes: 

 ·     Landfill sites release harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses into the environment. Recycling will help reduce the pollution which is caused by waste, this then helps to battle climate change. This can result in land contamination.

 ·     Current UK recycling is predicted to save more than 18 million tonnes of CO₂ a year – equivalent to taking 5 million cars off the road.  

 ·      Climate change is caused by deforestation. Recycling will result in reducing the need for raw materials so that rainforests can be preserved.

·         Finally, Energy is used when making raw materials, recycling will require less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural resources.

Welfare to humans and animals

If you do not recycle you can damage human and animal health and welfare. An example of this is primary and secondary exposure to toxic metals, such as lead, results mainly from open-air burning used to retrieve valuable components such as gold. Combustion from burning e-waste creates fine particulate matter, which is linked to pulmonary and cardiovascular disease.

How Label Source can help.

Label Source is passionate about recycling and would like to help you and your company to become green. We provide a range of recycling signs to help prompt people to identify locations for collection and storage of products for recycling. Apart from general recycling points, there are specific signs for aluminium cans, glass, plastics, newspapers, engine oil, metals, clinical waste and non-hazardous general waste. The signs can form part of a waste recycling programme to minimise the use of resources, process waste, and to prevent products going directly into landfill.

These signs are used in manufacturing, retail, construction, schools and colleges, hospitals, public areas, offices, warehousing and distribution. All the signs cover the mobius loop symbol to signify recyclable products, whether solid or liquid. They can be used at recycling centres, on waste bins, wheelie bins, bottle banks, trash cans or sharps / needle stick disposal boxes. Start promoting recycling today to prevent environmental consequences.

There are three different tier risk assessment classification. They are defined by their colour, representing low, medium or high assessment level. Based on a risk assessment of exposure limits, these can be marked accordingly with these labels. Also, the labels can be used to quantify the daily or weekly safe limit for use of such equipment. 

       Low                                           Medium                             High

These standards are laid out in the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, and the European directive 2002/44/EC. These measures are to minimise the potential of HAVS (hand arm vibration syndrome) and VWF (vibration white finger) for electrical or pneumatic tools and equipment. There is an obligation on employers to comply with the regulations to prevent workplace injuries taking place when using power tools.

How to prevent Hand and arm vibration syndrome:

·         Ensure tools are maintained

·         Cutting down on smoking

·         Keeping warm

·         Regular exercise

·         Not touching cold items

·         Smoking. Chemicals in Tobacco can affect the blood flow effect 

Hand and Arm Vibration Syndrome can cause significant ill health resulting in long term injuries, affecting the nervous system. This then can lead to numbness in fingers and arms, muscular aches and pains and changes in sensation. This can then be followed by Raynaud’s phenomenon , a painful and disabling disorders of the blood vessels, nerves and joint. Raynaud’s Phenomenon is triggered off buy cold weather, resulting in fingers turning white and cold; then to a blue colour then red. Symptoms can progress if you continue to work with power tools.

Are you at risk of hand and arm vibration syndrome?

Working with any hand held power tools such as

 ·         Concrete breakers

·         Hammer drills

·         Chipping hammer

·         Chainsaws/ hedge trimmer

·         Powered mowers

·         Needle guns

 Then the answer is, yes.

Continue to use these tools and symptoms can become permanent.

Label Source can also help by preventing Hand and Arm Vibration Syndrome. We provide a range of hazard warning safety signs to be displayed in and around the workplace, and labels to be applied to equipment, ensuring that you are taking to right procedures when handling vibration tools. This includes high vibration risk, vibration safety levels and low, medium and high assessment levels. We also provide inspection tags to ensure you that your tools have been maintained.
