Competency scheme for metals recycling unveiled

The UK Chartered Institute of Waste Management has launched a Metal Recycling Contractor Competency Scheme (MRCCS) in collaboration with the British Metals Recycling Association.

The MRCCS tests provide evidence of individual capability and competency, enabling organisations to quickly and easily check that contractors have the required skills and training, and health and safety awareness, to work on a site in the metal recycling sector. 

There are two MRCCS tests to choose from:

• Contractor – Operative Test
• Contractor – Supervisory Test

All contractors are required to take their test every three years to provide continued evidence of competence.
