AB  - It is noted that new British and European
legislation will make it a criminal offence for
companies not to dispose of their waste products
properly. Organisations, following the American
example, will have to monitor the costs of waste
disposal just as closely as they audit those of their
products. Insurance companies are likely to be
more specific in their underwriting of pollution
disasters in the light of the swingeing payments
doled out in the past. They will now demand the
highest level of physical risk management,
prevention rather than cure, involving total
management commitment, the existence of which
could have obviated the demise of companies in
the past. Penalties for corporate pollution of the
environment will be most severe and negligent
directors will be singled out for punishment.
