Mayflower Washroom Solutions endeavours to make certain that requirements are met by carrying out internal auditing by the Environmental Officer, well as external bodies at all levels. The Directors monitor the achievement & maintenance of the Training Programme throughout the organisation; reviewing regular reports from the Environmental Officer encompassing recommendations collated by senior management to review & meet set targets & goals.
Where appropriate, the Directors, individually or severally, give direction to the Environmental Officers and / or Senior Management to ensure all policies, systems & procedures are properly implemented & maintained.
