Course overview
Introduction
Construction activities can pollute water, generate dust and noise, damage habitats, produce large volumes of waste and consume significant energy and materials. Regulators, clients and communities increasingly expect contractors to control these impacts, and environmental incidents can lead to prosecution, delays and reputational harm.
This Construction Site Environmental Management training course provides practical tools for planning and controlling environmental performance on construction sites. Participants learn about environmental legislation and permits, environmental management plans, pollution prevention for water and land, dust, noise and vibration control, waste management and the circular economy, ecology and protected species, and carbon reduction on site.
The course emphasises practical site controls, inspections and incident response that can be applied immediately.
