  5. 13.2 – Legislative aspects 12.2 Legislative aspects • Different basic principles in treaties and legislation: • The polluter pays principle • The precautionary principle • The duty of care principle • The proximity principle

  6. 13.2 – Legislative aspects • The polluter pays principle: • all producers of waste are legally and principally responsible for the safe and environmentally sound disposal of the waste they produce. • This principle also attempts to assign liability to the party that causes damage

  7. 13.2 – Legislative aspects • The precautionary principle: • When the magnitude of a particular risk is uncertain, it should be assumed that this risk is significant, and measures to protect health and safety should be designed accordingly. • (a key principle governing health and safety protection)

  8. 13.2 – Legislative aspects • The duty of care principle: • any person handling or managing hazardous substances or related equipment is ethically responsible for using the utmost care in that task.

According to a similar principle, any community should recycle or dispose of the waste it produces, inside its own territorial limits.
