COMPANY FINED AFTER "UNQUALIFIED WORKERS" CAUSED CHEMICAL LEAK

Rentokil was criticised by the Environment Agency after a court heard two "unqualified" workers washed a spilled chemical into drains causing the death of thousands of fish and long term damage to the river. The firm was fined £40,000 and ordered to pay costs of £33,000.

This is hard evidence of the importance that the Envirinment Agency attaches to staff training. For further details on Fosse Liquitrol accredited Spill Awareness and Response Training Courses, click here.
