What Will You Learn on the SEATS Environmental Awareness Course?
The SEATS Environmental Awareness course offers a comprehensive look at the subject. During the course, you’ll learn about:
- Environmental Awareness Importance: Learn how construction affects wildlife and the local community. Understand how small changes can have big impacts.
- Environmental Management Systems (EMS): Learn how to install and use simple yet effective systems on-site, allowing you to monitor and control situations that could be hazardous to the environment.
- Waste Management and Sustainability: Understand how to minimise waste and increase recycling efforts, plus learn how to maintain a tidy working environment.
- Pollution Prevention and Legislation: Learn about relevant legislation about pollution from construction sites, how to minimise pollution, and how to ensure you stay compliant with laws.
- Ecology and Heritage Protection: Understand how to identify risks to protected ecological and historical areas, and to protect them effectively during work.
Why Take the SEATS Environmental Awareness Course?
This CITB Environmental Awareness course is designed for those overseeing work on UK construction sites. The risk of damage to the surrounding environment is under more scrutiny than ever, and the consequences of unintended damage are significant.
By taking the SEATS Environmental Awareness course, you’ll be well-equipped to prevent problems arising from damage to the environment. And this, in turn, will ensure your construction company’s reputation is protected, legal issues are avoided, and finances are protected from potentially huge fines.
From a personal perspective, those with SEATS training can differentiate themselves from the many other job seekers on the market. Employers will appreciate the knowledge SEATS-trained team members can bring. They will therefore be more likely to hire them – often at pay levels higher than those of the average construction manager.
