CPD Course - Managing Water Pollution on Construction Sites

Our Siltbuster CPD-accredited and industry-leading courses on Managing Water Pollution on Construction Sites provide training to the construction industry on environmental legislation and practical solutions to minimise pollution.

Many construction firms expose themselves to potentially crippling fines (of up to £3 million) under the published sentencing guidelines due to not being fully aware of the environmental risks posed by construction activities.

The course provides site staff with a basic understanding of everything they need to know, including a brief introduction to the law, planning the works to avoid water pollution, and how to best handle sources of site pollution.

The course is delivered by our Principal CPD Speaker, James Baylis, who has an extensive background in water treatment and soil remediation, as well as being a member of the Siltbuster team since 2013. James is supported by other Siltbuster Sales Engineers, who are experienced in dealing with the range of contaminants discussed during the CPD course.

What you'll get out of the course

  • An understanding of the legislative framework, discharge permits and consents, and what they mean in practice
  • The opportunity to ask questions and take part in group discussions
  • The opportunity to have one-to-one discussions over your own water treatment issues
  • The opportunity to meet other industry professionals facing similar day-to-day challenges.
  • The courses held at our head office in Monmouth will also include an opportunity to view our facilities and course-related treatment systems
