Skill Overview

The environmental impacts of building, construction and civil engineering are far-reaching and heavily regulated. Poor, unregulated application of activities in our industries can have devastating effects on the environment, health and safety and more. So as professionals in these industries, we need to understand the impacts we make, the regulations that are in place and why it is crucial to be, at the very least, compliant with the rules in place. 

This Site Environmental Awareness Training course covers relevant legislation and other aspects that affect the environment in the building, construction and civil engineering industries. It will provide delegates with a broad understanding of the environment and the issues construction sites’ face.
