Modern Slavery Statement for Industrial Storage Tank Washing

Workers preparing for industrial storage tank washing safety procedures This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery and human trafficking across our industrial storage tank washing operations. We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of forced labour, servitude, or exploitative working conditions in relation to industrial storage tank washing, storage tank cleaning and related tank wash services. Our approach covers direct employees, contractors, subcontractors and the broader supply chain supporting industrial tank washing activities.

We recognise that storage tank cleaning and tank wash operations can involve complex supply chains and temporary labour arrangements. To manage this risk we maintain clear policies, require contractors to comply with our standards, and ensure employment practices for on-site teams are lawful, transparent and fair. Our Code of Conduct and employment terms emphasise respect for workers' rights and the prohibition of any form of bonded or coerced labour.

Inspection and compliance activity during storage tank cleaning audit Our zero-tolerance policy is actively enforced: suspected breaches are investigated promptly, and confirmed instances result in contract termination, remediation for affected workers and, where appropriate, referral to law enforcement. We communicate this stance in procurement documents and site induction material for all colleagues and third-party providers involved in storage tank cleaning and industrial tank washing operations.

Supplier Standards and Audit Programme

We require suppliers and subcontractors engaged in tank cleaning services to meet our minimum standards on labour conditions, documentation, and worker welfare. Our contractual terms mandate compliance with anti-slavery requirements, accurate payroll records and freedom of movement for personnel. We conduct due diligence when onboarding new providers, and we include modern slavery clauses in service agreements for tank wash services and containment cleaning.

In the outdoor garden scene, a mature person is seen kneeling on the grass, holding a potted plant with purple, red, and orange flowers, suggesting recent planting or plant care. Behind them, there is a vibrant, well-maintained lawn with lush, green grass of differing densities, bordered by a paved pathway or patio area. To the left, a wheelbarrow with a bright yellow wheel and a green body is partially visible, indicating outdoor maintenance activity. In the background, tall, leafy shrubs or hedges create a natural boundary, alongside a few mature trees with thick green foliage, providing light shade. The scene is set on a clear day with natural sunlight illuminating the garden, highlighting the variety of textures from the smooth paving to the textured leaves and flower petals. The individual is dressed in casual, weather-appropriate garden clothing, including a hat and gloves, suggesting they are performing gardening or landscaping tasks, which aligns with the services offered by Industrial storage tank washing in garden maintenance and landscaping projects. The overall environment appears peaceful and carefully maintained, appropriate for residential gardening services in the local area, possibly in or near the town associated with the given postcode. Supplier audits form a core control within our prevention framework. Audit activities include

  • verification of employment contracts and payroll;
  • interviews with workers to confirm voluntariness and working conditions;
  • review of recruitment supply chains and third-party labour providers;
  • assessment of housing and transport where provided by suppliers.
Audits are risk-based and prioritise high-risk suppliers supporting industrial storage tank washing and confined-space cleaning.

Where audits identify non-conformance we require corrective action plans, follow-up assessments and, if necessary, replacement of the supplier. We also deliver training and awareness sessions for procurement teams and site supervisors to identify indicators of exploitation and to uphold safe, ethical tank cleaning operations.

Reporting Channels, Monitoring and Annual Review

A young woman with dark hair tied back, smiling, and wearing a striped apron over a white shirt is in a greenhouse or garden centre, tending to lush green ferns and other leafy plants. Behind her, two blurred individuals are engaged in gardening activities near colorful flower pots and decorative stone water features, indicating a well-maintained outdoor or indoor plant area. The scene includes a variety of plants with vibrant green foliage, set against a backdrop of glass panels allowing natural sunlight to illuminate the space. The environment suggests a professional gardening or landscaping setting, with the woman actively involved in plant care, underscoring services related to garden maintenance and outdoor plant care, consistent with companies like Industrial storage tank washing operating within the gardening sector in the UK. We provide clear reporting channels for workers, contractors and stakeholders to raise concerns about modern slavery in storage tank cleaning and industrial tank washing activities. Reports can be raised anonymously where permitted, and all allegations are treated seriously, investigated confidentially and handled in accordance with our investigatory protocols. We maintain whistleblowing protections and ensure no retaliation toward individuals who report in good faith.

To monitor effectiveness we track metrics including audit outcomes, corrective action completion rates, training participation, and any incidents of non-compliance. We evaluate supplier performance regularly and integrate modern slavery risk considerations into procurement decisions. Our leadership reviews these metrics at management meetings and takes action to strengthen controls across tank wash services, confined-space cleaning and related activities.

A woman in a garden on a sunny day is kneeling on the soil, tending to young vegetable plants. She is wearing a light-colored sun hat, a red apron, a checked shirt, and red rubber boots. The garden features neat rows of lush green plants, including leafy vegetables, with some soil exposed between them. In the background, there are taller flowering plants with purple and white blossoms, a garden hose, and a pink watering can placed on the ground. To the left, a small cloth is hung on a clothesline, and the garden is bordered by a wooden fence with trees and bushes beyond, illuminated by warm sunlight. The overall scene captures a well-organised outdoor space dedicated to gardening, likely part of a residential backyard, demonstrating outdoor planting and maintenance activities consistent with gardening services in the area near BR1 postcode or local town. This statement is subject to an annual review to ensure continued alignment with emerging risks, legal requirements and best practice. The annual review assesses policy effectiveness, audit findings, remediation outcomes and stakeholder feedback, and it informs updates to our supplier standards, training programmes and contractual requirements. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to eliminating modern slavery from every aspect of our industrial storage tank washing operations.
