Site environment training is now really accessible for builders.
Site Safe and Auckland Council have partnered to produce an Environmental Site Management training course. The two-hour online course, developed in partnership with Auckland Council, is designed to improve environmental practices on small residential building sites. It is suitable for all residential builders and sub-contractors undergoing permitted construction activities.
Those participating in the course will learn about erosion and sediment control, on-site waste management, chemical and pollutant control practices and construction and demolition. Learners who complete the course will receive an e-certificate and two Licensed Building Practitioner points and a better understanding how to do it right to protect the environment. Auckland Council says they are excited to have partnered with a leading health and safety solution provider such as Site Safe to deliver the Environmental Site Management course.
“The activities we do on-site can harmfully impact our local environment. But with some simple changes, we can reduce our impacts, leading to environmentally safe sites.”
