Restricted – CommercialAEA/ ED02414/Issue 1e products?Developing A Strategic Approach to Construction WasteIt is felt more SME training, syllabals arerequired and possibly Enterprise typeorganisations can fund these otherwise nosmaller builders/companies would attend.More best practices are required to makefollowing legislations across the boardeasier.more use of electronic rather thanpaper systems (could also be used fordata analysis, setting targets).Proposed legislation on Site WasteManagement Plans is ill conceived. Itshould be targeted at designers ratherthan contractors to design out waste.As construed it is likely to be a paperchase, which in all likelihood will not bewell enforced (if other legislation isanything to go by).12 AEA Energy & Environment
