Introduction

Who is the ‘SEATS’ for?

This one-day Site Environmental Awareness Training scheme (SEATS) course is designed for those who have, or are about to acquire, supervisory responsibilities.

This one-day course is intended for those who are operating at supervisor level. The course covers all relevant legislation and other aspects that affect the environment in the building, construction and civil engineering industries. It will provide supervisors with a broad understanding of the environment and the issues construction sites’ face.

• follow environmental management systems and processes to mitigate environmental damage

• play their part in reducing statutory nuisance and disturbance to neighbours

• manage the impact that archaeology and heritage can have on construction

• control water consumption and reduce the impact construction has on natural water supplies
