UK government posts 78-page guide to pollution prevention

The UK government, and more specifically the Environment Agency, has posted a guide on its website entitled "Working at construction and demolition sites: PPG6 Pollution Prevention Guidelines."

The guide explains itself as follows:

"This document provides practical advice and guidance to help you prevent pollution. There are several hundred pollution incidents from construction and demolition sites every year that damage the environment, yet most can easily be prevented. Managing your activities properly on site will protect the environment, wildlife and human health. This guidance explains what you’re required to do by law and describes good practice measures to reduce the risks of a pollution incident."

The guide is for site managers, foremen and supervisors, and can be viewed by clicking this link.
