COTC Site cover
QSP Training provides professional COTC (Certificate of Technical Competence) site cover for all types of waste management and recycling facilities. Our qualified and experienced Technically Competent Managers (TCMs) ensure your operations remain fully compliant with Environmental Permitting Regulations while maintaining the highest standards of safety and environmental performance.
We can provide cover for hazardous, non-hazardous and inert waste sites, including transfer stations, treatment facilities, landfill sites, and end-of-life vehicle (ELV) operations. Whether you need short-term, medium-term, or ongoing support, QSP can tailor a solution to suit your business requirements.
Flexible and Cost-Effective
COTC cover can be provided on a flexible basis — from ad hoc visits to regular on-site attendance — depending on your permit and operational needs. There is no minimum booking requirement, and we can be available as little or as often as you require.
We can also supply COTC cover while your staff are training and being assessed for their own competence. This approach keeps your business compliant while reducing long-term costs and downtime.
A single call to QSP could save your organisation both time and money, ensuring that your site remains fully operational and legally compliant during periods of transition or staff change.
When You Might Need COTC Cover
-
When your existing Technically Competent Manager leaves or is unavailable
-
While staff are training or awaiting assessment results
-
During recruitment or transitional periods
-
When operating new or additional waste management facilities
-
When additional cover is required for multi-site compliance
How Much COTC Cover Will You Need?
The level of cover required depends on your site’s OPRA (Operational Risk Appraisal) score and guidance from the Environment Agency. Our team can review your permit and provide clear advice on the number of hours and frequency of cover needed to remain compliant.
We are happy to discuss your site requirements and provide a competitive quotation based on your facility type and operational risk rating.
