Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme (SEATS)

Who Should Attend?

This one-day classroom based course will provide delegates with an introduction to environmental issues on construction sites. It is designed to meet the basic environmental knowledge that the sub-contract chain are required to prove to major contractors.

**Aims and objectives **

Aims The delegate will gain knowledge and understanding in:

• what is meant by the term ‘environment’ • how to deal with archaeology and heritage on a construction project • effective waste management • pollution controls, and why the environment should be protected • the use of environmental management systems • why it is important to be a good neighbour and responsible contractor.

Objectives At the end of the day delegates will be able to:

• understand the need to protect the environment • implement environmental management systems into the management of the site • have an understanding of the impact archaeology and heritage can have on a site • identify the principles of the good neighbour initiative • appreciate the need to be a responsible contractor
