Ultimately, documents are evidence that the actions or tasks have been performed, therefore, all documentation should be concise, legible, accurate, and traceable

Wiping Safely or Shredding UNenvironmentally

The shredding industry tells us they safely destroy data bearing devices at our workplaces and that our workers will be fine. We should reflect on the processes where circuit boards are manufactured and the protection employees receive on the factory line.
