AND The Site Waste Management Plan must include procedures and commitments to sort and divert waste from landfill (reuse, recycle, compost or otherwise recover) according to the defined waste groups. This must be performed either on site or through a licensed external contractor, in accordance with best practice (1 point).” Checklists for monitoring and documentation are provided within the technical manual of CSH. Social (and environmental) responsibility Man2: Considerate Constructors Scheme: Assessing the impacts of construction site activities, CSH follows a comprehensive approach requiring a specific score within the so-called “Considerate Constructors Scheme” 74 which is a voluntary UK certification scheme encouraging the considerate management of construction sites with respect to environmental and especially social aspects. The scheme 73 “Best practice relating to construction waste minimisation credits is a combination of commitments to: • reduce waste generated on site • develop and implement procedures to sort and recycle construction waste on site • follow guidance from: – DEFRA (Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) − BRE (Building Research Establishment) − Envirowise − WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme)” 74 http://www.ccscheme.org.uk Final Report 108 31 03 2011
IBO - Environmental and Health related Criteria for Buildings is operated by the Construction Confederation since 1997 and was developed from local schemes in the City of London and City of Westminster. The certification scheme is more target-oriented than e.g. QMS (Quality Management System) as it is tailored to assess the site itself and all impacts from construction site activities in contrary to general processes within the building construction firms. The main areas of concern within the “Site Code of Considerate Practice” fall into three main categories: the environment, the workforce and the general public. Points are awarded in increments of 0.5 over the following eight sections: - Considerate - Environmentally Aware - Site Cleanliness - Good Neighbour - Respectful - Safe - Responsible - Accountable To achieve certification under this scheme a score of at least 24 is required. CSH awards 1 point “where there is a commitment to meet Best Practice under a nationally or locally recognized certification scheme such as the Considerate Constructors Scheme” and 2 points “where there is a commitment to go significantly beyond Best Practice”. Best practice is defined as “achieving a score of at least 3 in every section, and a total score between 24 and 31.5, of the Considerate Constructors Scheme’s Code”. “Going significantly beyond best practice” requires a total score of 32 - 40. The overall weighting of this criterion within CSH is 2%. Site inspections are made by independent monitors selected from the senior ranks of the construction industry (third-party certification), the inspection reports are based on detailed checklists for monitoring and optimization (see 2010 Site Registration Monitors’ Checklist) 75 . The general requirements are specified as follows: “Considerate: This section is intended to discover whether the site is fully aware of all those who may be affected by the work (traders and businesses, site personnel and visitors, and the general public, special attention is to be given to the needs of those with sight, hearing and mobility difficulties) and thereafter to see what efforts are made to minimise any nuisance or inconvenience. Environmentally Aware: This section examines how aware the site is of its impact on the environment (energy, waste, pollution, resources, ecology, etc) and examines what is done to minimise this and make a positive contribution. Site Cleanliness: The working site is to be kept clean and in good order at all times. Site facilities, offices, toilets and drying rooms should always be maintained to a good standard. Surplus materials and rubbish should not be allowed to accumulate on the site or spill over into the surroundings. Dirt and dust from construction operations should be kept to a minimum. Good Neighbour: General information regarding the Scheme should be provided for all neighbours affected by the work. Full and regular communication with neighbours, including adjacent residents, traders and businesses, regarding programming and site activities should be maintained from pre-start to completion. Respectful: Respectable and safe standards of dress should be maintained at all times. Lewd or derogatory behaviour and language should not be tolerated under threat of severe 75 http://www.ccscheme.org.uk/images/stories/site-registration/downloads/monitor-checklist2010.doc Final Report 109 31 03 2011
