It is an offence to pollute surface and groundwaters as they are covered by Legislation.
Building sites located near surface waters, or near or using drainage systems leading to surface waters have to be extra careful in managing site activities to reduce the risk of pollution. This applies to your company and subcontractors working under the organisation.
The consequences of failing to effectively manage and prevent pollution include:
The SEQM TRAINING Surface Water Management Awareness course educates site staff in the importance of pollution prevention, the relevant legislation, potential sources of water pollution, and best practices for prevention.
The course considers effective measures from the construction planning, design and implementation phases and the course covers everything in order to satisfy the companies regulatory requirements, maximise learner efficiency and reduce the risk of a pollution incident occurring.
To provide employees with the training they need to:

Course is available to start immediately and complete in your own time and pace.
If you are a construction company or have SWM issues and would prefer a live tutor, we can provide an experienced trainer with construction site auditing experience.
The trainer will guide the trainees through each lesson and discuss / give feedback for the exercises at the end of each module, host Question and Answer (Q&A) sessions and answer any queries as they arise within the sessions. The course utilises the latest online learning management technology blended with a live trainer to optimise the trainee’s experience.
In the event that any trainees are unable to attend a Live Trainer session, a pure online course will be made available to them to access at any time.
