Duty of Care Documentation Toolkit

Your legal Duty of Care under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 requires specific documentation — and many practices fail inspections simply because they cannot produce it. This toolkit provides everything in one place: a waste carrier verification record, a Waste Transfer Note template, a 15-entry consignment note log, an annual carrier audit checklist, a common EWC code reference, and a document retention summary. Print it, fill it in, and put it in your CQC evidence file.

What’s included:

• Duty of Care obligations summary table
• Waste carrier verification record form
• Waste Transfer Note template (Section A producer / Section B carrier)
• Hazardous Waste Consignment Note log (15 entries)
• Annual carrier audit checklist (10 items)
• EA red flags — do not use this contractor checklist
• Common EWC codes reference table for clinical settings
• Document retention summary table
• All forms fully editable in Word
