The simplest way to avoid legal responsibility for implementing environmental regulations is to use a contractual approach. By assigning legal responsibility, such as appointing a designated member of staff or using a third party, one can ensure the obligations are met and that their company remains legally compliant. In most situations it is possible to fulfill your legal responsibilities via hiring an external contractor or engaging members of staff on a secondment. This will also help ensure there is no conflict of interest within the company with regulatory action against it being taken in other jurisdictions if breaches do occur, as the enforcers can target those who employed/assigned the work rather than the employer itself.
