Let's be honest, paying for staff to attend multiple chiropractor appointments because they have spent hours leaning over a shredder and done their back in, is not the best way to spend your hard earned cash.
Dumping all your paperwork in the the bin could land you in hot water from a legal standpoint as you will have contravened many rules of the data protection act regarding the correct disposal of confidential data.
Fire is not an ideal way of destruction either and it tends to result in the office sprinkler system dousing staff and causing firemen to turn up and provide a stern lecture on office fire procedures.
Ok then so what should you be doing. Well the best tried and tested method is to have everything shredded by a local provider. So, web browsers open everyone and lets start searching.
But what exactly am I looking for?
Question 1. Do you want a big ugly shredding van, turning up on your road / car park, blocking the highway and making all sort of grinding noises as it tears through your paperwork?
Answer: Not really
The alternative is to have locked shredding consoles that look like pieces of office furniture, at strategic points throughout your office. These can be emptied on a scheduled basis and removed from site.
or
Use shredding bags which come with a secure numbered tag to seal the bag.
or
Have destruction collected by the box
It really is up to you.
So now you have chosen the method and everything has been collected, what now?
All our confidential shredding id destroyed to DIN level 3, this is also referred to as confetti shredding as this is the size of the paper once the shred is complete. We then issue you with a destruction certificate for compliance and continuity and the shredded material then gets recycled.
This ensures that you are compliant and reduced the chiropratic bills.
