Disclaimer

IES maintains the write to reject quoted projects not fitting within their allotted line of scheduling.
IES reserves the right to reject quoted projects on the scheduled day or any day afterwards without explanation or condition
IES maintains the write to remove its operators from a project or remove itself from the project should a conflict of interest and/or change of circumstance occur that may warrant the necessity for the project to be terminated. If so, all services rendered prior to termination of agreement (regardless of necessity post projects conclusion) will need to be paid out in full by the client, Inclusively, all staged works (such as testing performed) be submitted to the client in raw copy format so that another company may take over with analysis of data and finalisation of report. Semi-Completed reports will neither be destroyed or handed over by IES unless reviewed and approved by Management as ‘viable for release’.
Slanderous, bullying or harassing behaviour will not be tolerated upon any IES personnelle by the client or contractors of the host site. Personnel victimised by such workplace offences will be removed from the project and may in-turn result in the rejection of a project and therefore subject to the rules of the ‘termination of agreement’ detailed in our ‘terms and conditions’.
IES are not able to predict or foresee what suspected contaminants may be discovered upon testing. Estimates and test Outcomes may alter dramatically depending on what test analytes prove (or disprove) about the waste type. IES will not be liable for any legal actions raised by the consequences of dangerous goods or other prescribed industrial wastes inconspicuously uncovered through the purposes of testing. Nor will the failure to alert relevant authorities and regulators of hazardous material wherein the parameters of the Privacy and Confidentiality Policy. Hence the liability of such notifications towards EPA, Worksafe, Vicroads and/or other regulators will be the sole responsibility of the client and not that of the accredited agent (IES) or those of the Chain of Responsibility (i.e. Waste Transporter and/or Lawful Place) to who IES may have liaised with.
IES is not capable at accounting for all possible circumstances of which lead to contaminated materials on site. Areas of contamination concern not assessed will be identified within the limitations of each classification report. Accordingly, IES will not be held accountable or responsible should material cross examined by regulators or independent agencies return alternative results to the conclusion and waste category IES appointed based on the test results recovered
Exceptions, Exemptions and Exclusions prominently exist within the new Victorian EPA Act. IES will not be held accountable for the supply of extra services required due to Hot-Spot Contaminant Discovery and/or Waste Declaration requirements found necessary. IES will make extra-curriculum areas such as these known to the client to the best of its ability but will not be made liable for work requirements outside the facilitation of Waste Category Classification. At IES’s discretion, extra services provided may be freely offered to account for this, whereas sometimes it will be added and required to be approved as an additional charge.
IES will maintain its strict Privacy and Confidentiality policy when conducting business pre and post project submission. Clients will not be able to retrieve documentation that may contradict this policy

Chain of Responsibility and Liaison Servicing

The chain of responsibility is defined by Insight Environmental Services as “The shared liability of all constituents who facilitate a project from start to end”.

In waste removal and reuse, the chain of responsibility can be broken down into the following chain;

Waste Producer/Generator –
Accredited Agent –
Waste Transporters –
Lawful Place –

Insight Environmental Services serves as the accredited agent pursuant to categorise and facilitate the removal of material from excavation source to its appropriately licensed disposal or reuse facility

Through this process, many companies find navigating EPA and NHVR regulations tricky, risky and highly confusing to those unaccustomed. Insight Environmental Services offers an optional Liaison Service (rarely available by our competitors) to help organise and link the waste/reuse material with its intended carting company and lawful place in order to spare time and effort by the producer should it be requested

This extra and limited service is available only upon direct request, and may come with added charge should its request have layered complexities. Enquire through our contact us page for request or further information
