This one day interactive course is the first nationally accredited environmental training programme to be developed for site supervisors/managers with the aim of providing candidates with an introduction to environmental issues on construction sites.
The course will bring the candidates’ environmental and sustainability knowledge up to date by giving a thorough overview of the subject, relevant legislation and industry best practice. Additionally it is a transferable training programme for the UK construction industry – reducing the costs and duplication of large contractors having to develop their own in-house training schemes and providing a programme that can be embedded across the supply chain.
It will enable the supply chain to identify, control and minimise the environmental impacts of their work and where possible identify environmental improvement opportunities.
