Can someone please advise on how I can produce auditable evidence from a real working environment? (our firm doesn't have these files to hand)

Does a copy of our receipt from the wholesalers with the WEEE charge count?
What about other forms of evidence? Any info in the Electricity at work regs?

Kind Regards

You are slightly vague in which aspects of Environmental legislation you wish to address, this is a vast field of compliance and legislation.

Obviously providing evidence that you are complying with the WEEE directive is a start, if you are disposing of any waste then there should be a waste transfer note produced for each movement detailing the type, quantity start and destination of the waste, probably prepared by the registered waste carrier removing it, if it is hazardous waste then there should be a consignment note with full hazard, consignor, waste type, consginee details.

In terms of environmental pollution then you should have procedures in place detailing how hazardous materials are handled and how they are controlled to prevent release into the environment, whether that be by air, land or water. COSHH assessments should be in place for all hazardous materials used.
Risk assessments should also cover a lot of this information.

If the levels of hazard are great then there should be emergency plans in place under COMAH, probably not applicable for an electrical installation business.

General waste collections would be detailed in your invoices from the waste company (and should also have something like an annual waste transfer note for the collection round)

This is all I can think of immediately and is mainly concerned with waste management as this is what I know, there may be a whole range of other areas at which you should be looking but this would be a good start.

This is fantastic help. Does me writing about these count as auditable evidence? Obviously i will also include photocopies of the weee charges etc. (Providing i can get my company to give me them)

Auditable evidence is generally the original documents or copies of them that can be referenced by an auditor.
If you were to provide a written method statement detailing that these documents exist and are being used/supplied/completed appropriately, then this might go some way to demonstrating compliance but really the proof is the documents themselves.
