CIRIA has announced a number of courses for 2007 aimed at enabling a better trained construction industry.
Environmental good practice on site (10 May 2007, London; 15 May 2007, Birmingham; 22 May 2007, Runcorn) offers advice on how to minimise the impact construction activities have on the environment. Working with wildlife training (7 and 28 June 2007, London) will advise on how to adhere to relevant regulation and legislation relating to wildlife issues on-site. A two-day SUDS training event (10–11 July 2007, London) will introduce basic design information to reinforce current SUDS guidance and regulatory framework.
There are also training workshops scheduled for later in 2007 offering guidance on sustainable procurement, linear construction, green roofs, sustainable whole life costing and stakeholder engagement.
