Free CPD webinar: Environmental risks and remedies when working in and near water
Preventing pollution when working in or near water
Activities carried out in or alongside water bring a distinct set of challenges, especially around managing pollution risks during temporary in-water works. In this free webinar, we’ll examine the key considerations and practical issues associated with working in or near aquatic environments.
Learn from us during an interactive webinar, where our Technical Director, Leela O’Dea, will present you with risks and solutions when working on construction sites close to watercourses, or in-river activities.
The talk will be filled with case study site examples and you’ll come away with a checklist of things to consider to prevent pollution risks. She will also be on hand to answer your queries.
Some of what she will cover includes:
- tips and strategies for mitigating environmental risks
- applying a Rain Ready® approach
- water quality and quantity management
- in-river works
- releasing water from site
Register below and we will email you a Teams link to join the session nearer to the date.
