Standards

This CARICOM Regional Standard provides requirements for the implementation and maintenance of a solid waste management programme for tourism establishments.

This standard does not apply to:

a)    organisations such as government ministries, regulatory departments and agencies, associations and statutory bodies that do not provide a tourism related service; and

b)    solid solutions, solids in solutions and non-solid waste.

EXAMPLE   Solid solutions include construction steel, brass and amalgam waste which may arise from construction, plumbing, dentistry and other activities. 

This national standard specifies requirements for a management system where a micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise:

a) needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently meet applicable requirements for quality and occupational safety and health; and

b) aims to enhance its performance, through the process of continual improvement, assurance of conformity to applicable quality and occupational safety and health requirements, and the prevention of nonconformity by the application of this system.
