A member of the list recently gave the Public Record Office as a site that
has a Records Management Standard 'Disposal Scheduling' which includes the
physical destruction of records.
It recommends that 'Restricted Records' should be strip-shredded. For
'Confidential Waste' it recommends crosscut-shredded and also collection by
approved disposal firm and pulped or burnt.
Principle 7 - A cost benefit analysis to find the best security for the
best price would appear to be appropriate; staff training; contractual
security measures with outside companies.
I wonder what procedures other organisations have in place? Do they shred
records followed by pulping or burning? Can anyone explain what is
strip-shredded and crosscut-shredded? Is there another standard that covers
this area?
Any assistance is appreciated,
Sue
