The global economic slowdown is already being reflected in job cuts, budget restrictions and spending allowances. We all know, the best way to save money is to use more efficient tools. A chef needs sharp knives, a carpenter needs clean saws, and an environmental manager needs clear explanations. Let’s run through a typical situation with NIMONIK. 

Let us assume a typical environmental manager with benefits costs a company 35$ per hour.

An environmental manager in a single province typically reads the provincial and federal gazettes (3 hours) and then does further research on the changes every month (8 hours).

With NIMONIK, the gazettes are already evaluated and research can probably be cut down by 60% (I think that is conservative) as the concerns such as Air Emissions are clearly adressed in plain language. Let us say the environmental manager now spends 3 hours per month on NIMONIK. 

This leads to a monthly savings of 9 hours X 35$ = 315$ – NIMONIK subscription (69$) = 246$ per month which leads to:

2 952$ in Annual Savings

This does not include reduced liability to errors or oversights. NIMONIK notifies you of deadlines such as NPRI, GHG, Ontario Stewardship,… so you don’t forget anything. Let us maintain your register, keep you informed of changes and bring you up to speed before audits to help you stay compliant and free up employee time to work on your core business. 

It seems fair to say that NIMONIK will not cost you money, it will Save you Money!

As a result of the environmental and health concerns associated with PCBs, the Government has adopted a number of regulations since 1977 to minimize exposure to PCBs and their environmental releases. Under the current Regulations, owners of in-use PCBs and equipment containing PCBs may continue to use these until the end of their service life.

The PCB Regulations set specific deadlines for:

• ending the use of PCBs in concentrations at or above 50 mg/kg,
• eliminating all PCBs and equipment containing PCBs currently in storage, and
• limiting the period of time PCBs can be stored before being destroyed.

These requirements, together with the more stringent release limits, will further reduce releases of PCBs into the environment. The labelling and reporting requirements for PCBs provide the necessary information to monitor progress towards end-of-use targets. The Regulations also establish sound practices for the better management of the remaining PCBs in use (i.e. those with content of less than 50 mg/kg), until their eventual elimination.

We are really excited for the new version of NIMONIK. Here is a quick overview of the system, we have uploaded a higher quality version.
