NAS Certification for
Waste Management Contractors.
Waste management contractors, skip hire companies, and specialist waste removal businesses operate under Environmental Protection Act, duty of care, and licensing obligations that procurement teams check closely. NAS provides independently assessed business compliance certification covering the environmental, health and safety, and operational standards required by public sector, housing, and construction clients.
