This 2-day CIF programme has been developed in conjunction with the 1-day course offering in Environmental
Management for Construction. The 2-day programme is designed to focus on four key thematic areas (land, waste,
water and pollution prevention) in detail, incorporating four workshops to provide practical tools and advice for construction
site management. The workshops will enable participants to develop a Waste Management Plan, a Land Management
plan, a Water Management Plan and a Pollution Prevention Plan tailored for the construction sector. Furthermore, the
outcomes from the first three workshops will be transposed into an overall Project Environmental Management Plan for
utilisation by course graduates.
