CSM2 & MSRFL
Staff involved in environmental monitoring required by any resource consent conditions and by the
requirements identified within this CEMP will be trained and competent in the operation, calibration
and maintenance of the equipment. Sampling staff will also be trained and competent in sample
collection, handling, storage and transport methodologies and techniques. Records of staff training
will be auditable and available for inspection, on request.
3.2.1 CEMP Training
All Project employees and subcontractors are to be inducted and given appropriate environmental
awareness training. The training is to be relevant to their different roles to ensure that they are
aware of:
• The importance of conformance with the environmental policy and procedures and with the
requirements of this CEMP;
• The actual and potential environmental impacts of their work activities and the
environmental benefits of improved personal performance;
• Their roles and responsibilities in achieving conformance with the environmental policy and
this CEMP; and
• The potential consequences of departure from specified operating procedures.
The Project specific site environmental induction will include an overview of resource consent
conditions, designation conditions, permitted activity standards, environmental control procedures
and the SEMPs. Specific individuals with environmental responsibilities may require the following
training:
• Emergency response training;
• Spill kit training;
• Environmental auditing; and
• Sampling and Monitoring.
All environmental training records are to be held at the Project Construction Office. The
Construction Environmental Manager will have responsibility for maintaining and updating these
records.
As a requirement of each training session a record should be completed with the date of the
training exercise, a description of the training content, the name of the trainer and trainee(s), and
the signature of the trainer and relevant manager. See Appendix M for an example training
schedule that can be used. Conversely, the Principal Contractor may use its own format if available.
CEMP Expectations for the appointed Principal Contractor
The Principal Contractor shall develop, implement and maintain training systems that meet the
requirements of this CEMP. These training systems shall be discussed and if so required submitted
to the NZTA for review and agreement prior to construction start.
In particular the Principal Contractor shall submit to the NZTA prior to the commencement of
operations, a procedure for Environmental Training and Awareness, which identifies and addresses
all training requirements. The training should address the specific requirements of this CEMP and
the identified environmental risks as set out in the risk register. Environmental performance relies
