waste that is not able to be recycled, it should be confirmed with the HCM P/L that
the designated waste stream can go to trash under HCM's internal rules.

meet our high standards for environmental protection. Every contracting company
must agree that they and their employees will abide by the “Contractor Obligations”
while on site. HCM is certified to ISO 14001, the international standard for
environmental management, and as such any contractor working on our site may
be audited as part of the on-going certification program.

metal waste bins are used, do not overfill the bins and ensure that equipment
disposed in metal bins has been properly decommissioned to prevent
leakage. Wood must not contain metal hardware other than small nails.

29. HCM Safety And Environmental Contractor Guidelines

29.1. HCM requires all contractors to post a copy of the “HCM Safety and Environmental

HCM’s property. Please familiarize yourself with the location of the poster in your
work area and with the information on the poster.
29.2. All departments at HCM are accountable for their energy consumption, including
setting targets for energy consumption during non-production hours. Contractors
are expected to support this by closing exterior doors immediately after they are
used, and only turning on the lighting and equipment they require to complete their
project.
